In this episode of the We’re Not Stumped podcast, host Mike Bolland covers three impactful stories from the community, each highlighting different aspects of support, accountability, and innovation.
First, we explore a fundraiser organized to assist a young amputee and their family, providing crucial financial support to manage medical expenses. Mike urges others who may know more about this story to reach out so he can share additional information.
