In a dynamic partnership aimed at amplifying stories of resilience, Kerrie Atherton, founder of Stories of Hope Australia, has joined forces with Kintsugi Heroes, a platform dedicated to sharing narratives of overcoming adversity. This collaboration marks a new chapter in Kerrie’s mission to inspire and heal through storytelling, leveraging the broader reach and resources of Kintsugi Heroes, founded by Ian Westmoreland. Together, the two organizations aim to create an even greater impact by connecting with a wider audience and fostering healing through shared experiences.
For Kerrie, this partnership represents a significant milestone in her journey. “The partnership with Kintsugi Heroes means the world to me,” she shares. “After working solo for so long, it’s amazing to have the support of a team that shares my vision. Together, we can reach even more people and change more lives.” United by their belief in the power of storytelling, this collaboration seeks to shine a light on personal stories of adversity, offering hope and connection to those who need it most.
