❤️🏆We’re thrilled to share that one of our major supporters AND former foster youth, Amber Robbins, has been selected as a 2026 Sacramento Leaders of Impact Nominee! 🏆❤️. Amber spearheaded the makeover of The Grove, and continues to advocate for clients, especially at The Grove (our shelter for transitional age youth). Every 34 seconds, someone loses their life to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Together, we have the power to change that. 💪❤️ Over the next 7 weeks, Impact Teams will be raising awareness, advocating for healthier communities, and funding lifesaving research through the American Heart Association. 🫀🔬✨ This mission is especially meaningful as cardiovascular disease not only impacts so many of our clients, but also friends and family. Every conversation, share, and donation helps create a future where more people can live longer, healthier lives. ❤️ 🙌 Will you join her in making an impact? ✅ Make a donation ✅ Share this post ✅ Help spread awareness. Together, we can turn passion into purpose and save lives. ❤️ 🔗 Support Amber’s campaign here: http://www2.heart.org/goto/AmberLane #LeadersOfImpact #HeartLeadersOfImpact #SacramentoHasHeart #AmericanHeartAssociation #LifeIsWhy ❤️🫀✨
