Through Gift of Time Together, his family was able to spend precious time at their favorite Florida beach. Just days after returning home, Sam passed away. His mother later shared that he had been holding on for that trip &mdash; one final, beautiful memory they will carry forever.<br />There wasn&rsquo;t a dry eye in the room.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">The Power of Collective Giving</font></strong><br />Project Give exists to bring women together through giving &mdash; and evenings like this are a reminder of why that matters.
