We often think of service as something we give to people, but Joan Howard learned it’s also something that gives back.

After Joan went from a trust fund baby to losing everything and living in her car with her mother and three dogs… one stranger reached out a hand and asked her to do one thing: perform an act of kindness every week.

That can look like attention, presence, humanity. And Joan says this practice didn’t just help others. It saved her life.

Service isn’t selfless. It’s how we find ourselves again.
