You have cancer. Oh, but there is more. Having always been an overachiever, I had not one cancer but two – Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma. Yep, I did not know you could get two cancers at the same time either! It’s even rarer to get the two I had. I am a part of the lucky 1%! Like most people you start examining your lifestyle – obesity, stress levels, food etc.… My husband was convinced it was the stress of the job. So, on one of my weak days, he made me promise to retire. Since that day, I love what I do, I love what I do, has been on loop in my head. I cannot imagine not getting up daily to make the world a better place through my work. Plus, I have so much knowledge in my head that can help others. Hence, the brainchild Supporting World Hope was developed. What if I could help fill in the gap for those small nonprofits who do not have access to a National office?
Having been a CEO of a nonprofit for the last 15 years and working through the ranks from program delivery to operations I experienced all levels of what it takes to run a great nonprofit. I swear on one day I went from cleaning a toilet to being flown in a private plan to visit the board of a major foundation. It’s all in a day’s work, right? And yes, we received the grant from the foundation. I digress, because of this experience I believe that if you focus on supporting the CEOs & the Board of Directors and developing the program staff organizations can stay razor sharp on their mission. Thus, changing the world and giving people hope. Hence the name Supporting World Hope!
I’m a cancer survivor who promised her husband to take it slow, but I have a passion for nonprofit work.
Sabrina Walker Hernandez is the President & CEO of Supporting World Hope. She has over 25 years of experience in nonprofit management, fundraising and leadership. One of Sabrina’s greatest successes is that she increased operation revenue from $750,000 to 2.5 million over an 8-year period as well as being responsible for the planning and operations of a $12 million comprehensive capital campaign. She has facilitated numerous workshops with hundreds of nonprofit professionals. Sabrina is certified in Nonprofit Management by Harvard Business School.
She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Village in Valley, Edinburg Rotary, FEMCity of the RGV, and Edinburg Economic Development Corporation.
Sabrina's 3 top tips:
- A different way to look at your journey - what was it preparing you for?
- The joy of giving back
- Faith over Fear

I couldn’t believe I was in prison. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I could survive and that my friends and family could still love me. I learned about myself with the help of other criminals.
When I was released, I wasn’t going to tell anyone. Why would I? When I finally got the courage to share my secret, I was surprised that people began sharing their secrets with me and beautiful connections were made. I started feeling empowered and shame fell away. Today I help others share their secrets.
I was a successful wardrobe stylist in Orange County, CA and living a sober life for almost a decade. I relapsed, stopped my business, sold drugs to a priest who was being followed and was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
For more than 1500 days I lived with serial killers, transgender bank robbers, mafia wives and the woman who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart. It was horrific and shocking. How did someone like me end up here?
I was released 3 years ago and have since graduated Summa Cum Laude from Southern Oregon University with a BS in Innovative and Leadership.
Kristy's top 3 tips:
1. Learn to love your perceived flaws.
2. Connecting to others through your pain.
3. Journaling every morning will help you be more authentic

Cheryln Gibbs is a heroic warrior, leader, and friend, who fought her way back from the devastating effects of betrayal trauma, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. While sharing her painful story was never on her bucket list, doing so not only changed the way she sees her pain, but has helped others change the way they see their pain, too.
Cheryln loves telling stories through her video production and social media marketing business. She enjoys playing the bass guitar in her family band. She lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with her husband and adorable family, who love her even though she can't cook.
In Cheryln's words:
Are you stuck in a relationship with a destructive mindset? Does it feel one-sided? Like the spark has gone out? Like its no fun anymore.
Do you take the blame for things that are not your fault?
Is fear crippling your ability to move forward?
Do you feel unsafe, out of control, or powerless?
I encourage and inspire others to break up with destructive mindsets that are holding them back from living a life of peace, love, and human attachments. I comfort those who have known defeat, known to suffer, known struggle, known loss so that they can climb their way out of the depths and have an appreciation, a sensitivity, an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and deep loving concern for humanity.
