🌟 Closing Our Empowerment Award Season with a Story That Defines Strength
As we officially wrap up the Spring/Summer Positive Impact Awards, we are honored to spotlight the winner of our Empowerment Award. This recognition is reserved for stories that embody courage, resilience, and the human spirit at its most unshakable.
Congratulations to Maria Imre, whose memoir High Price for Freedom was selected as the Positive Impact Empowerment Award Winner.
Her story is one of extraordinary perseverance:
From moving from Russia to building a life of love, purpose, and legacy in America, Maria and her husband poured everything into raising a family, creating a home, and living with dignity and hope.
When her husband passed away from cancer, Maria turned her grief into purpose by fulfilling a promise to tell their story. High Price for Freedom is that promise fulfilled, and it stands as a beautiful tribute to a life shared, a dream realized, and a love that endures beyond loss.
📖 This book is not only a memoir.
It is a testament.
To courage. To family.
To freedom.
To keeping your word.
Maria, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Your story will continue to inspire and empower others for years to come 🌠
