Welcome to this issue of Elevate, where we explore love, compassion, and hope through the stories of the people and organizations in the Black Hills who help those who have been less privileged, less than cared for, and less than elevated. There’s the story of Bridget Stone, who came out of retirement to volunteer at Love INC so she could help people living on the street. And then there’s the story of Tim Rogers, who spends his free time working with troubled youth as part of his role as a board member for WellFully. And finally, our cover story of Martha Rodriquez, Mrs. Anonymous, whose work with abused children through CASA, is rewarded not by money, but by hope and hugs years and years in the future.
