Although it’s only June, we can all agree 2020 has already felt like a year, and it’s no surprise given the amount of national and global news that has taken place.
The Together in Hope June Appeal 2020, for the Hope 103.2 team, is a time when we ask Hopeland to continue supporting our mission. But, it’s also a time we can reflect on how our listeners and readers might be fairing.
With that in mind, we’ve gathered a 20-to-1 countdown of the stories you connected with between January and now. It’s been a heavy season, mixed with sadness and uncertainty, but there have also been miraculous moments and community connection like never before.
