A very wise man once said,
"...if we were to ever feel emotionally secure, we would have to put our lives on a give-and-take basis; we would have to develop the sense of being in partnership ... with those around us.... We would need to give constantly of ourselves without demand for repayment. When we persistently did this, we gradually found that people were attracted to us as never before...." -Bill Wilson-
For some people, service is something other people do. For some, it's an afterthought; still for others, service is something you do during the holidays or when you have nothing else to do.
But for a handfull of people like Francine Ward, service is what you do to stay alive. It's as much a part of one's life as breathing.
From sitting on non-profit boards, to donating money, to volunteering time, to providing pro-bono legal services to women, to making time to listen to and speak with women in need every single day, Francine believes there is ALWAYS a way to give, and we as human beings are always called to do so.
Don't misunderstand, she's no angel (not with the life she has led), no she's just a women with a big debt to pay for the second chance she's been given
Here are a few of the organizations she supports:
