Yesterday, I received the “Kindness is Cool™ Award” from the Luisa Diaz Foundation — an honor that truly humbles me.
For years, I’ve volunteered reconstructive procedures for survivors of domestic violence, helping repair injuries such as burns, gunshot scars, severe trauma, and other conditions that deeply affect quality of life. Being able to restore comfort, dignity, and hope is one of the most meaningful parts of my work.
I also want to honor my father, David Forouzanpour, who taught me what true empathy is. His values of compassion and humanity continue to guide me every day.
This award reinforces my commitment to helping those in physical and emotional pain, and to offering care where it is needed most.
