Janelle is extremely pleased to receive the award. She said, “I’m truly grateful to have been awarded the SPF Book Prize. To me, this recognition represents more than just financial support — it’s an affirmation of the values I hold close: service, empathy, and community.
A band-aid doesn’t just stop the bleeding; it begins the healing. That’s how I’ve come to see the SPF — as vital forces in caring for the often-unseen wounds of our society. As someone who finds quiet beauty in supporting people through their most vulnerable moments, I hope to give back in ways that reflect the spirit of this prize!”
