What Hope Looks Like
Eric Newman
Pain and passion—they reside within all of us. But if you’ve endured a life-changing experience, you know that residual pain can make it hard to heal old wounds.
What if you could give your pain a purpose? What if you could turn it into passion?
For pediatric cancer survivor Eric Newman, a voice inside told him to dig deeper, unearth his rooted pain, and plant something beautiful. And so he did. He founded Roc Solid, a nonprofit that builds playsets for children bravely fighting the same disease—and the same pain—that he once did.
In What Hope Looks Like, Eric helps you transform your experience into hope for those just starting down the difficult path he has already navigated. No matter the type of hardships you’ve faced, you’ll learn, step by step, how to create a nonprofit that is not only successful but significant. From confronting your fears and putting ideas on paper to creating a budget and strategizing for the future, Eric provides you with the toolkit you need to tackle any obstacle and turn your ideas into solutions that will change someone’s life.
