“I’ve been following Compassion Connections MB for quite a while now. I’ve been playing the races and reading about the great work they do and finding inspiration in the goodwill they share. Last week I suffered some serious trauma of my own. Within days Compassion Connections MB reached out to me and provided much appreciated support. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to know of this foundation and the people behind it. With all my heart , thank you.”
