When I first joined Expect Miracles Foundation’s (EMF) Samfund Grants team as a Program Assistant in early March of this year, I had no idea we would shortly be plunged into a global pandemic that would rapidly change life as we knew it. Despite the challenges of starting a new job shortly before work (and life!) went remote, I couldn’t be happier or more grateful to be a part of such an outstanding, caring, and giving organization. I’ve learned more about myself, and the world, these past seven months than in any other position I’ve held. I’ve learned how much I previously took my own health for granted. My health has never interrupted life– that’s why it’s so incredibly humbling working with a community of people who have had their lives interrupted, in the most abrupt and destabilizing way.
