Jody Boyd's journey began with a deeply personal loss – the passing of her dear friend Michelle Singleton to cancer in 2005. She took that pain and created a remarkable nonprofit devoted to supporting single-parent families facing cancer. The Singletons offers critical monthly programs including Singletons Monthly Care Days, Bare Necessities, Beyond Books, and Healing Harvest. She collaborates with oncology nutritionists and local chefs to ensure the meals provided in the Monthly Care Days are both nutritious and tailored to the needs of the families they serve. In 2020, Jody's vision expanded with the acquisition of a building she transformed into the H.U.B. (Help Us Build: Strength, Hope, and Community). This dedicated space provides essential supplies for the home and meal preparation, while also hosting events such as Singletons Santa's celebrations and educational Wellness Beyond Cancer workshops to foster a sense of camaraderie among the families.
