We're coming together to support our dear friend Susie Chaplin and her family during a difficult time. Susie, a former NAWIC Cleveland Chapter member, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer at just 36 years old. She is a devoted wife to Sean and mother to two young boys. Susie has always been a source of strength, and now we have the opportunity to help her family. Your donation will go directly to Susie and Sean to help ease their financial burdens. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you for keeping Susie, Sean, and their boys in your thoughts and for demonstrating the power of community and kindness.
