ABOUT US Who are we? We are you, you are us. We are an ever expanding group, driven by the common bond of community and desire to ease the suffering of our common community, our common family. We are doctors and patients, jockeys and couch potatoes, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers. We are teachers and students, and we are all students and all teachers. We are all races, all religions. We are friends, family, community, giving the gift of loving-kindness, compassion, and aid to friends, family, and community in their time of need. We are you and you are us. We are the ones who benefit from the giving. We, who help by giving what we can, receive the greatest gift from the ones who allow us into their community, culture, and lives.
