A Voice for Those Who Need Help
“I grew up with parents who were both deaf from birth and sign language was my first language. As such, I was a translator for my parents from a very young age. I believe being a voice for those who need help is in my blood.
Ultimately, that’s the inspiration behind DO MORE GOOD. Not only do we educate nonprofits on how to better communicate and amplify their message to the marketplace so they can multiply their impact … by doing so, we also believe we’re empowering every nonprofit we work with to have a strong voice to help those who need help.”
– Bill McKendry
