Lydia Dominick of Buffalo, NY is a successful business owner, running a popular balloon company and also working to beautify women through services like lashes and makeup. She also founded Buffalo Gives after the war on Ukraine broke out. What started as requests for food, diapers and combat supplies from those in her community turned into boots on the ground work in Poland and Ukraine to save many lives through donations of bullet proof vests and other tactical gear.

She has traveled overseas and is continuing her life-changing work as the war wages on. She is also offering instrumental work right in her hometown, supporting those in need.

In 2012, a baby girl was born without a right or left hemisphere of her brain. Doctors said she was essentially in a vegetative state, unable to see or hear. Relinquished by her birth parents, this two-week-old unnamed baby girl found her way to Cori Salchert’s home. Despite the infant's grim medical diagnosis, Cori took the baby and named her Emmalynn. Ever since that moment, Cori has been on a quest to help other hospice babies, those left to live and die without family to care for them. Bringing these fragile babies into her home, Cori and her family have promised not only to hold them briefly, until their last breath, but to love them forever and always.
