Are you
STRESSED !?
Just what you need = a new book filled with expert
advice,
testimonials &
personal stories
from people
just like you who
were struggling with stress
and found simple, easy solutions.
Hi, my name is
Sumner
Davenport,
one
of the authors
in this timely
book.
Don't let the
smile on my face
fool you -
I am just like
you -
attempting to
figure out how
to balance all
of my
obligations,
deal with
frustrations and
setbacks, health
worries, bills
to pay,
relationships,
and all the
other everyday
stresses ......
and desiring to
be happy at the
same time.
Stress is a
constant in our
lives, such a
constant that we
actually don’t
realize we are
under stress, we
think it’s “just
part of life.”
Traffic jams,
deadlines,
eating on the
run, we stress
when we have
bills to pay,
job changes,
endless chores
and too many
errands. Our job
has stress, not
having a job has
stress, it’s
stressful
maintaining your
weight, having a
relationship is
stressful, not
being in a
relationship is
stressful,
family
responsibilities
are stress, and
all those other
demands on you
can be huge
amounts of
stress. Not to
mention those
people who
really get on
your nerves.
Our energy is
drained, and we
feel helpless.
Health surveys
report that over
70% of people
feel stress
everyday. You
are not alone.
But is there
anything that
can be done?
Yes! There is!
Just like you, I
needed answers.
I certainly
didn't have them
all, in fact, on
some days I
didn't think I
had even one. I
searched....
listened to
experts, created
polls and
surveys, talked
to strangers -
people like you
and me. This
book
is more than
just my words or
experience, it
is a joint
effort of
several authors
who share their
expert advice
and
experience
PLUS
stories and
testimonials
from individuals
interviewed
during my
extensive search
for solutions to
teach stress
who's the boss.

The
Foundation’s primary mission is to
provide scholarships for secondary
education
for children who have lost a
parent to breast cancer.
Pearls of Hope® was
inspired by the Hope Pearl,
which shows
that all things are possible..
Lorraine Jackson was
diagnosed with very
early stage breast
cancer when she was 40.
Because of the cancer’s
early detection, she was
able to be treated with
radiation. Doctors
explained that had this
happened to her only 10
years earlier she would
have needed a
mastectomy.
At that moment Lorraine
realized how important
education and medical
innovation are to
effectively treating
cancer patients.
Spark of
Inspiration
 During
her treatment, Lorraine
met other women
undergoing treatment for
cancer,
many of these
women were mothers. While
fighting for their own
health, these mothers'
were also concerned
about their children,
and their children's
future, especially if
they didn't survive the
cancer.
This
experience inspired
Lorraine to start The
Lorraine Jackson
Foundation. Since 2005,
the nonprofit has
provided mentoring and
college scholarships to
children who have lost a
parent to breast cancer
through their Pearls of
Hope Scholarship
Program. "All students
who receive a
scholarship from us are
students who have a lost
their mother to breast
cancer. One lost her mom
when she was 11 months
old and another when he
was 5. Some students
have lost their mother
while they were in high
school" Lorraine says.
To make the scholarship awards even
more impactful,
California Dollars for
Scholars matches the
amount of each
scholarship awarded
within their collegiate
partner program. But the
Lorraine Jackson
Foundation doesn’t just
provide financial
support. It also pairs
each student with a
mentor who will stay in
touch throughout their
time in college and
beyond.
Increased Need
There has been an influx
of scholarship
applicants this year,
which Lorraine
attributes to a growing
need in the community to
help children who have
lost a parent to breast
cancer.
