"Someone’s kindness made a difference," shares Cyndi, a sentiment that resonates through Scott’s story as he expresses gratitude for the chance that altered his life’s course. Cyndi’s fierce presence and Scott’s renewed purpose created a powerful duo whose work contributes to feeding over 150,000 people in their region.

It’s a touching reminder of how the simplest conversation can ignite creativity, turning everyday moments into legendary tales embraced by millions.
