Here is a free training on how to do that without volunteering or having prior experience: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/webinar-videos/discover-grant-writingTwo major parts of Abby’s story include her second baby being born with heart defects requiring four open heart surgeries in one year and moving her family across the country to be near family for support while her husband recovered from a major car accident. For those considering whether or not to pursue a dream, Abby’s advice is to go for it.
