"I dedicate myself to advocating for kids in tough situations – those grappling with hunger, limited resources, or educational barriers, struggles I've personally faced. But now, my mission is to be their champion. Seeing kids succeed, healthy, educated, and cared for is what drives me. At the end of the day, I always reflect on my grandmother's words: 'Make sure the work you did today was worth doing.' It's a reminder that guides me and keeps me focused." – Tammy Meador, SCAN Volunteer
