In this inspiring episode of Daily Influence, we welcome Elissa Kalver, founder and CEO of WeGotThis.org, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that no one faces cancer alone. Diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2021, Elissa turned her personal challenge into a powerful movement, creating the first nonprofit gift registry for cancer patients. She shares the story behind her mission, the impact of small acts of kindness, and how a simple gift bag led to a life-changing journey of advocacy and empowerment.
Elissa also opens up about the lessons she’s learned in building a nonprofit, the importance of community support, and why she believes cancer is a “team sport.” Whether you’re looking to make a difference, build resilience, or simply be inspired, this conversation is a reminder that we are stronger together.
Tune in for a story of hope, action, and the ripple effect of positivity. 💜
