"Sadija has been there in the late nights when I called her crying. She has been there in my high moments celebrating each and every success. She has encouraged me, pushed me and driven me to be the best that I can be. What she does is so much bigger than any award, any newspaper article, any nonprofit. She has a heart to help others and there is no thing that could express how much gratitude I have for her. More lives will be touched because of her."
