Reflections on Giving
Jennifer Roe Darling reflects on the value of belief
The pediatric health breakthroughs we celebrate in this issue of Changemakers all began with belief— belief in an idea, in a person, in an organization’ s mission, in a better future for children. We share these stories to deepen your connection to our programs, people and purpose, and we hope you feel a sense of pride reading about the impact your generosity makes.
I invite you to reflect on what beliefs have shaped you and how carrying them forward through your personal generosity can change what’ s possible for kids’ health.
Whose work— or whose belief— do you feel called to carry forward, and how could you honor them by giving?
I’ d love to hear what beliefs have inspired your personal giving to Children’ s Colorado. Please connect with me at jdarling @ childrenscoloradofoundation. org.
