“I believe I was CHOSEN for the challenges I have experienced throughout my life. They have tested me and taken me through many fires. When I look at the community we serve, I see many of the hardships I too have experienced. As a single mother, I know all too well, the angst and uncertainty that comes when financial limitations lead you to question your ability to provide. I understand wanting to achieve more but feeling blocked and not knowing where to get help. It took me living through these challenges to appreciate them. I am grateful for each challenge, because they have each contributed to the development and growth of LIM. Each challenge has impacted a place deep within me that is full of compassion and empathy for the plight of others. It is now over 10 years since my heart underwent reconstruction. With this reconstruction, my heart not only keeps me physically alive, but it strengthens my spirit daily to serve others, give back and be a blessing by continuing to do good and live out my purpose to serve others.” – Crystal Fleming, Founder of Live Immeasurably More
