Donors
You are our why.
Donors are the marrow of Chronic Joy – the voice of hope, the catalyst of compassionate change, and the beautiful spark of courageous possibility.
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you. (Colossians 1:3)
From the beginning, our donors have leaned long into prayer, sacrificially offered their hands and hearts, insightfully asked the difficult questions, and selflessly given to build a strong foundation for Chronic Joy.
