Surviving Cancer
Volunteer Spotlight: Vaishnavi Uppalapati
This month, Kits to Heart is so proud to feature one of our newer volunteers— Vaishnavi Uppalapati, a student from Kingsview Middle School in Germantown, MD.
Ever since we first met on New Year's Eve a few months ago, we have been so impressed by her dedication and positivity that she brings to each in-person kit assembly, where she also drops off various handmade items to make our kits even more special!
Volunteer Spotlight: The Jain Sisters
Since last summer, sisters Sanjana and Anjali Jain have been spending their Saturday mornings helping us to assemble cancer care kits. It is always a joy to have them both come support our efforts in person! They were even pictured in our story in the November 2022 edition of The Business Monthly.
