This episode features Sonny Mullen, a passionate advocate who transitioned from a career in television to working with the nonprofit Help Hope Live, inspired by her family's experience navigating her younger brother's rare disease diagnosis. At Help Hope Live, Sonny is dedicated to alleviating the financial burden faced by families dealing with catastrophic injuries, transplants, and rare diseases. She emphasizes the importance of smart fundraising that protects eligibility for state-funded medical care and advocates for the power of community in providing a cohesive support system. With over 40 years of legacy, Help Hope Live demonstrates that with the right support, families can not only survive but thrive, turning challenges into victories.
