Episode 336: Stephanie Becker

Stephanie Becker is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Better2getherrva and she joins Paul via a connection with Mark Johnson (episode 332). Paul delved first into why and how Stephanie started this non-profit that benefits many children and their families in the Richmond area. Stephanie told Paul about how her son Jack, at age seven, got cancer and how she received some wonderful support from non-profits in the area. Soon thereafter, a close friend’s son got diagnosed with a rare lung disease and Stephanie realized that her friend and family were not getting the same level of help that they had received. She founded Better2getherrva to offer family support services to Richmond area children with complex medical illnesses regardless of the diagnosis. They discussed what Better2getherrva does to fulfill their mission and Stephanie spoke about the importance that human connections and understanding play in their organization. They finished by talking about what the future holds for Better2getherrva. If you want to donate to this incredible non-profit, please go to their website: better2getherrva.org
