“I’m Michael Hernandez, a senior at United High School and a volunteer with Smiles From Heaven. Volunteering with SFH has given me the opportunity to support children and families facing childhood cancer through meaningful activities and time spent together.

I’ve learned that even simple moments, like painting, playing, or simply being there, can make a difference. This experience has helped me grow as a leader, strengthen my teamwork skills, and become more compassionate and grateful.”
