When my 47-year-old husband suffered a severe stroke, my world was turned upside down. In the midst of that overwhelming time, Tracie stepped in without hesitation and gathered her friends to surround my family with love and support. They sent gift cards, brought food, and even provided a beautiful Easter dinner for my six children and me when I could barely think about how to make the next meal.

Anytime I’ve needed anything, Tracie has always found a way to show up—often before I even knew what I needed myself. Whether it was a word of encouragement through a text message, a phone call to check in, or praying with me when I felt completely broken, she has been a steady source of strength and compassion.

What makes it even more remarkable is that all of this took place before she officially formed her organization, To Whom Much Is Given Inc. Tracie’s actions during that time are a true testament to her selflessness, her heart for others, and her unwavering commitment to helping those in need.

I will forever be grateful and deeply appreciative for everything Tracie and her friends did for my family and me during one of the hardest seasons of our lives. Her kindness, leadership, and dedication have left a lasting impact that I will never forget.

A couple of years ago I worked with Tracie. She found out that my two nieces and nephews’ father passed away from COVID. What made this worse is that my sister — their mother — had passed away eleven years earlier from cancer. Then two short months later my step-dad passed away from COVID as well. What made this even harder was that him and my mom had custody of my nephew at that time. This situation was very stressful for me, and Christmas was less than 45 days away.

Tracie called me and told me that her friends were talking about my situation and they would like to help. Tracie and her friends went above and beyond for my family. She showed up to my house with love, support, and gifts for the whole family. They even bought me a special memory blanket for my dad’s passing. She and her friends went out of their way to make my whole family and myself excited for Christmas.

This was before she started her nonprofit organization, and I think it speaks to her dedication and commitment to helping others. I personally felt like she was an angel that showed up when I was at a very low point in life and was able to give me hope again. She is truly one of a kind, and my appreciation goes far beyond words that I could speak.
