Bags of Hope
You may have found this website via a note found inside a Bag of Hope. At Sahara's funeral, guests were invited to put together a bag filled up with necessities for those who need them the most.
​
One of Sahara's greatest legacies in her 23 years of life was always looking out for those who may be struggling. Her compassion and generosity led her to giving out food and supplies to people without housing.
​
Ultimately, one of the greatest ways we can honor Sahara's memory is to give help to those who need it, without judgment or an expectation of being repaid.
