"There are two ways of spreading light: be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." -- Edith Wharton
 
In 2022, from supporting caregivers to championing veterans to strengthening public health care systems, SDI’s clients led with excellence and heart.
 
Their stories reached millions, from USA Today to the Associated Press, and hundreds of TV stations nationwide. Here's a lookback at the year that was through a media lens:

HELP FOR AFGHANISTAN
SDI remains concerned and supportive of Razia’s Ray of Hope as 500 younger girls are still able to go to school in rural Afghanistan. Sadly, girls older than 12 are no longer allowed to get an education. We pray this year brings back rights, hope and opportunity to the women and girls in Afghanistan and peace to the people of the Ukraine.
We wish you good health, good luck and prosperity!
