For nearly four decades, he visited homes via the television with his half-hour-long program, \u201cMister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood.\u201d Through his work, he shared with viewers of all ages ways they could be kind and helpful to each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogers was always looking for good in times of darkness. He would often recall the important lesson he had learned from his mother.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I was a boy and would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, \u2018Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courtney Green took that sentiment to heart. She and her team of dedicated helpers work tirelessly to ensure that no one has to experience hardship alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green is the founder and executive director of Love Heals. Love Heals is a nonprofit that \u201cwalks alongside individuals experiencing hardship by connecting communities, coordinating care, and covering costs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/4-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/4-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/4-1-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/4-1-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Though they\u2019ve only been operating as an official nonprofit for about a year, Green and her group have worked for six years to walk alongside those needing a helping hand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnofficially, we started in 2018. I was a bartender out of school, and this all got started to help a friend. The year prior, my friend had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a part, of sorts, in her journey from seeing the diagnosis happen, the biopsies and treatments, along with all the life changes that come with a diagnosis. She had asked if I could pray for her because she didn\u2019t have enough funds for an upcoming treatment. And while\u00a0I, of course, said yes, I wanted to do more. Looking back, I was living out what Love Heals is now to my friend at that time,\u201d Green explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help during a challenging time, Green and some friends recruited four local bands to perform in a benefit concert, with all the proceeds going to help with her friend\u2019s medical bills. Green\u2019s friend was present to share her story with the audience. The event\u2019s success led to more benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHelping her turned into randomly doing things for people over the next four years. We\u2019ve been doing benefit events for people as a fun side project and donating 100% of the funds raised to them. As we have grown over the years, we knew we wanted to make our work more official.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/1-4-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/1-4-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/1-4-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/1-4-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Green was glad to be able to do something for her friend, she had not foreseen the interest that would follow after holding such an event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople began to ask when the next one would be held. Initially, I was unsure of why people were interested. There wasn\u2019t anything spectacular about it or different. However, after we did that first event in November of 2018, we spent some time discussing people\u2019s interest in it. We realized two things. One was that people liked that 100% of their ticket went to the person and wasn\u2019t going to any kind of overhead. We paid for that ourselves, out of pocket, through extra shifts. The other was that my friend personally shared her story through cancer, and people seemed to resonate with that. We kept getting bands that weren\u2019t just someone playing the guitar but offered a full-blown concert experience as best as we could afford. Everything started connecting,\u201d Green recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That connection has now solidified, becoming a nonprofit. While Green and her staff are still learning the ropes, the organization is making headway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRealistically, we\u2019re just getting started as an actual legitimate organization with real databases, systems, software, and the ability to run payroll,\u201d said Green.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/2-5-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/2-5-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/2-5-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lynchburg-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/02\/2-5-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say we have it perfected, but the model is there, and it\u2019s clear. We\u2019ve expanded beyond just doing concerts. Our goal is to advocate or walk alongside people because we believe no one should walk through hardship alone. And each person\u2019s story is different. How do we best care for each individual? We\u2019re figuring out what [it] looks like to walk alongside our beneficiaries and coordinate care for them beyond just handing them money.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green stated that this is only the beginning of what Love Heals has planned for the Lynchburg community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud of the work we\u2019ve done so far. We\u2019ve helped eight people since we\u2019ve existed. I think in the next five years, we will be across the East Coast. Everything we\u2019re doing, whether it\u2019s programs such as \u2018Coffee for Caregivers,\u2019 a monthly program where we provide caregivers with free coffee at local coffee shops, our benefit worship nights in partnership with local churches, or new benefits or programs, I think each has the power to bring communities together in different parts of the state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything we do is getting made into a standard operating procedure so that we can multiply impact. This empowers others from different parts of the country to help members of their communities share their\u00a0stories and receive support. So, at the bare minimum, I think we\u2019ll be on the East Coast. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a reason we wouldn\u2019t be across the country having people host their events and help people in their communities.\u201d <strong>GN\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BELOVED CHILDREN\u2019S television host Mister Rogers was known for doing good for others.
