Founder's storyRead more of our story
Born from love. Built on a promise.
I'm Rosemary Sherrod. This mission began long before it had a name, during my son Qevonte's cancer journey. We knew our story held heartbreak, but we also believed it held meaning, hope, and something that could encourage other families facing dark times.
After a doctor told Qevonte he had six months to live, I asked him what he wanted people to take from his story. His answer was simple, but powerful.
He said, "Just Smile."
