Summary
Ep. 212 - When her mother passed away from cancer, Sara Raoof Jacobs channeled her grief into a profound mission: giving others the comforting feeling of being mothered . What began as small, grassroots acts of kindness blossomed into Maman (the Farsi word for "Mom"), a rapidly growing organization powered by over 500 active volunteers . Kimberly connects with Sara to explore the raw journey of losing a parent , the spiritual power of everyday giving , and how a dedicated network of mothers managed to coordinate massive humanitarian relief efforts overnight —including filling a private plane with two tons of critical medical supplies . From uniting local high schools to bridging divides between inter-faith communities, Sarah's story is a beautiful testament to the global ripple effect of a mother's love.
