Why we exist
“Everyone deserves the chance to heal.”
My name is Rolando Heredia-Bustos, founder of What Atlanta Gives.
In 2021, I went through one of the hardest moments of my life. I survived a suicide attempt, and in the long days of recovery that followed, something in me shifted. I made a commitment to get better, and to help others do the same.
