Multiply Hope

When you remove barriers of crisis, you unlock the potential in people like Charmain- a Culinary program graduate who went from bedridden to successful Hotel Clermont chef! That’s why we’re excited to tell you ALL donations between now and May 31 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $150,000 thanks to a few of our dedicated investors!

Growing up, Charmain had “a rough life.” At 16, she ran away from home. A few years later, she was in a terrible car accident that left her bedridden for months...

“My body was so beat up I couldn't even move,” she said. “I basically laid on the couch watching Food Network every day.”

Inspired by the shows and needing an outlet, Charmain took up baking. In it, she found far more than a hobby. “Baking helped me push through my anxiety. I found peace away from the thoughts of the car accident.”

Little did she know her interest in food would be the beginning of an incredible journey....
