More than 1,000 mugs were individually crafted and packaged by women participating in Her 2nd Chance’s transitional employment program. Through this initiative, women gain meaningful job skills, workplace confidence, and healing—one handcrafted item at a time.
Melissa Durbin, Vice President/Chief Nursing Officer at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, welcomed nursing and hospital staff, Her 2nd Chance program participants, and board members for a special mug presentation and Q&A session at the hospital.
“This is more than just a gift,” said Her 2nd Chance Board Member Jim MacCutcheon. “It’s a symbol of heartfelt appreciation for the incredible nurses who show up every day for others. The women in our program understand what it means to fight for healing, and this was their way of saying thank you to those who dedicate their lives to that cause.”
