Few things are as frightening as a cancer diagnosis — for yourself or someone you care about. Living Journeys exists to make sure no one in the Gunnison Valley community ever faces that moment alone. They provide a wide range of supportive services, from food deliveries to counseling to transportation.

​

To do that, they need the generous support of donors. But how to inspire people to give when so many other nonprofits compete for those dollars? Make sure they know the number of meals donated? Miles traveled? Counseling sessions sponsored?

​

No. Numbers inform, but they can never inspire. To do that requires the key element in all true storytelling: People. When Living Journeys contacted Alan Wartes Media for help, we advised telling the organization's story by sharing the human experience of one of their clients.
