Meet the Founder

Sarah is a humanitarian volunteer and future physician focused on one thing: turning empathy into action when the world feels overwhelming. She began traveling to South Africa at age 12 and has returned every summer since, supporting local distributions of essential supplies—especially sleeping bags for people facing cold nights and unstable housing. Through these efforts, she has helped provide over 15,000 sleeping bags across South African communities, learning early that small, practical items can be life-saving.

Travel shaped Sarah’s worldview. Being physically present in communities facing hardship expanded her awareness and deepened her empathy for realities she wasn’t personally living—turning “news stories” into people, names, and neighborhoods she couldn’t forget. Raised with privilege but grounded in service, she grew up around humanitarian aid and learned that caring isn’t enough unless it becomes action. That disconnect—between awareness and response—became the reason she created this platform: to make helping feel clear, trustworthy, and immediate. Sarah has supported relief initiatives connected to organizations such as the United Nations, UNICEF, and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), helping mobilize resources where they are urgently needed.

In 2025, she helped raise $20,000+ for Gaza relief, supporting emergency aid for families impacted by conflict and displacement. More recently, she expanded winter support by helping deliver 1800 sleeping bags to families affected by a crisis in Sudan, prioritizing warmth, dignity, and survival. Alongside her humanitarian work, Sarah has worked in pediatrics as a Medical Assistant, an experience that strengthened her commitment to children’s health and reinforced her long-term goal of pursuing neurosurgery. She will begin at Harvard in Fall 2026, after pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry, and was recognized with a research award in 2024—reinforcing her belief that compassion and evidence should go hand in hand. Sarah’s work sits between humanitarian aid and health equity, with one goal: getting more people to actually step in and help.
