2020 will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most tragic and difficult years in modern history. Covid19 has taken 343,000 lives from the US alone. Thousands of people are at home, isolated while they wait for vaccines to be distributed. Many businesses and non-profits simply couldn’t survive. Here at PAD, donations decreased by more than 50%. But through the darkest times we were constantly reminded why our work is so utterly important.
