I've got 157,000 bosses but only a small group of them ever let me know how they feel.

WiFLI gave me friends who are advocates in similar situations. This let me know as a parent I am not alone.

As a student nurse, it made a huge impact to hear from the families. We see things from the clinical side all the time and it’s so easy to forget that people’s lives keep on going outside of the hospital. This gave me a renewed appreciation for the unbelievable effort and the challenging situations that these families experience every single day. Thanks again for the opportunity to join!

Advocacy for Change is a great way for people to get involved with decision making. And for me, it was important to hear what issues my constituents face and how to address them.
