The story behind WAYGFT
Hardship became gratitude. Gratitude became purpose.
Dawn’s Heart was inspired by founder George S. Bernardich’s journey after his November 15, 2023 diagnosis with Stage 4 lung adenocarcinoma, and by the support, prayer, and kindness he experienced.
His treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center and the support of family, friends, faith communities, physicians, and those who pray for him made gratitude a daily practice.
The question that followed was, “What am I grateful for today, and how can that gratitude help someone else?” Dawn’s Heart and What Are You Grateful For Today? grew from that answer.
The question began in St. Petersburg. Someone can ask it anywhere. The charitable work of Dawn’s Heart begins in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, and Tampa Bay.
