Jody Boyd’s journey began with a deeply personal loss – the passing of her dear friend Michelle Singleton to cancer in 2005.

She took that pain and created a remarkable nonprofit devoted to supporting single-parent families facing cancer. The Singletons offers critical monthly programs including Singletons Monthly Care Days, Bare Necessities, Beyond Books, and Healing Harvest. She collaborates with oncology nutritionists and local chefs to ensure the meals provided in the Monthly Care Days are both nutritious and tailored to the needs of the families they serve.

In 2020, Jody's vision expanded with the acquisition of a building she transformed

into the H.U.B. (Help Us Build: Strength, Hope, and Community). This dedicated space provides essential supplies for the home and meal preparation, while also hosting events such as Singletons Santa’s celebrations and educational Wellness Beyond Cancer workshops to foster a sense of camaraderie among the families.

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
