Every six months, Defied the Odds selects an individual or family facing an urgent crisis to receive direct support from our listener community. Whether it's covering the cost of medical care, rent, groceries, or simply offering a moment of relief during a tough chapter, donations go straight to the person in need. This initiative brings the stories shared on the podcast to life — not just in words, but in action. If you want to make a real impact or know someone who needs help, now’s the time to get involved. Your support can be the moment someone remembers they’re not alone.
