Have you ever considered your life as an aging adult? What do you think will happen during the end years of your life? Some of us dream about the joy of being retired, enjoying family and living a care-free life. However, that's not everyone’s story.

On any given day at Heaven Sent you may encounter live music, a beauty contest, photo shoots and more. Listen more to hear how Lynn Walls pursued her life’s passion to launch her nonprofit and how she has turned into an advocate to fight for benefits and resources for our elders.

Learn how a cancer diagnosis sparked a nationwide movement to support children fighting cancer. In this episode of the Nonprofit Activator Episode, meet Micheal (Mike) Shaw of Team Jenny Bean, a small nonprofit that provides gifts and financial support to children diagnosed with cancer. 

Hear Mike's story of how his wife discovered a cancerous tumor on their 6-year old daughter's back which catapulted them into a world of tests, surgeries and more.
