2020 was a year like no other.
It forced challenges upon every individual, causing isolation, loss, devastation, heart ache, and suffering.
It also brought about opportunity. Moments demonstrating empathy, compassion, perseverance, and a chance for everyday people to shine as heroes.
The IHA team, volunteers, supporters, and clients are my heroes.
