Get Involved With Good, The Story About Strength Through Stories w/ Devin Hess | Ep 17

Devin Hess didn’t set out to start a nonprofit. One Instagram post to help a single family snowballed into Strength Through Stories—a community raising tens (and now hundreds) of thousands for medically complex kids while restoring hope far beyond the money.In this conversation, Devin shares the unplanned spark (his father-in-law’s passing), the “$1 Dream” idea, why he chose to focus on children with medical complexity, how he keeps everything transparent, and the power of giving people an experience—not just funds. You’ll hear car-parade goosebumps, NASA care packages, and what it really takes to follow a nudge and build momentum from zero.If this moved you, the biggest help is simple: share the story and chip in $1/month—small together beats big alone.Meet DevinFounder, Strength Through Stories — a grassroots nonprofit channeling thousands of small acts into life-changing help for medically complex kids and their families.Mission: turn stories into strength—raise funds, create unforgettable experiences, and build lasting support systems around families in crisis.Connect With DevinInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theonedollardreamWebsite: https://www.theonedollardream.com/How to support: follow, share, and join the $1/month crew to sustain the work.Chapters00:00 — Welcome & who Devin is04:02 — The spark: one post → $60k in 20 days09:35 — The “$1 Dream” and why tiny monthly gifts matter15:48 — Quitting a job to do good work full-time22:11 — How families are chosen (kids with medical complexity)29:27 — Radical transparency, community moments (NASA, car show)37:44 — What’s next: experiences, retreats, and how to help todayConnect with us!
