Actress Alana Stewart donated signed copies of her memoir and shared her experiences of growing up under difficult circumstances and how faith and hope helped her endure. Former HGFC resident, Keisha Dottie, showed off her comedic chops while sharing her story of how she was able to get back on her feet and move forward with the help of Hope Gardens. Her speech served as a true testament to a great cause and lovely event.
