Welcome to another inspiring episode of Allen Fairview Insider, plus it's the debut of our new host, Kimbra Quinn. Today, Kimbra has a heartwarming conversation with LoLo Roberts. You’ll hear about LoLo's profound journey from a personal tragedy to founding the nonprofit Grateful Gratitude, aimed at assisting victims of violent crimes, single mothers, the homeless, and food-insecure seniors.

You'll learn how a simple hand-carved heart sparked a movement of generosity and gratitude in her community. LoLo’s incredible story involves not just distributing "gratitude hearts," but also providing essential groceries for low-income seniors. From working closely with local police departments to touching the lives of seniors with monthly food deliveries, LoLo’s passion is boundless.

We’ll also hear about the unwavering support from volunteers like Carissa, who have significantly helped expand LoLo’s mission. Kimbra will prompt us to reflect on acts of kindness and the transformative power they hold, quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson to emphasize the impact we can all have.
