“I tell everyone that meeting Maggie McGrann was a pivotal moment in my life. Without her, I might never have witnessed the true beauty of humanity. She embodies empathy, care, and compassion in the most selfless way, with no motive other than the well-being of others.

Maggie used her own resources to provide me with essentials like socks, underwear, and hygiene products. She helped me relocate to a safer area, particularly as a trans young adult, and went above and beyond in researching social support resources, guiding me toward every vital opportunity.

From the moment we met, Maggie made sure I felt supported and heard, a kindness she continues to extend to me even four years later. Her dedication to others' well-being is simply part of who she is. She not only helped me embrace the idea of receiving help but also made me feel comfortable and deserving of it. I am incredibly grateful for the impact she has had on my life and excited to see her continue sharing her gift for listening, problem-solving, and spreading compassion with the world.”

“I feel so grateful and equally as envious over Maggie McGrann’s knack for making me feel heard and understood. I wish I provided the same level of intentional engagement with people that she does! Maggie is especially skilled at empathizing with my anxieties and concerns, and her compassionate attitude is palpable when we speak.

This year I lost my job and was spiraling out, panicking over every uncertainty I could imagine, so I turned to Maggie knowing that she could efficiently help me ground because she had done so non-judgmentally so many times before. In place of my doom and dread, she helped me feel into hope in a positive outcome and belief in my own abilities. Maggie went further and helped me brainstorm opportunities that aligned with my strengths and available resources. I’ll always be thankful.”
