Unified Outreach
The Legacy Behind P.R.A.Y.
Long before P.R.A.Y. was founded, its mission was already taking shape through the quiet example of a woman whose compassion, generosity, and unwavering belief in helping others left an enduring mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
​
She believed that every person deserved dignity.
That kindness should never depend on the season.
That serving your community was not simply something you did—it was a way of living.
​
Those values became the foundation upon which P.R.A.Y. was built.
​
Today, every family served, every child encouraged, every volunteer empowered, and every partnership created reflects the legacy she inspired.
​
Although she is no longer with us, her influence continues to guide this organization every single day.
​
Her life reminds us that one person's compassion can ripple across generations.
​
P.R.A.Y. exists because that legacy lives on.
Susie (Marshall) Hollis
Her compassion became our mission.
"Everything we strive to accomplish through P.R.A.Y. is rooted in the lessons my mother taught me about compassion, service, and loving people without condition. Her legacy continues to inspire every family we serve."
