Have you ever wondered how one person's commitment to giving can transform the lives of others? We explore this question and more in an engaging conversation with the remarkable Bonnie Boroian, a fervent social entrepreneur and Angel Mom at Place of Hope's Leighan and David Rinker Campus in Boca Raton, FL.
