Initially, Susan Davis lived in Oakhurst from 1992 – 2002, where she raised her two children. Originally from the East Coast, she found a sense of family in the Oakhurst community. Susan returned to Oakhurst in 2019 after raising her children, Ryan and Hannah. She runs a part-time pet-sitting business and has worked as a home health aide for the elderly.
Recently diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, she is undergoing chemo and radiation. Despite this challenge, she is grateful for the support of her community and looks forward to resuming her favorite activities like hiking and outdoor adventures.

Why This Matters
Helping One Woman (HOW)
Helping One Woman is built on the belief that small acts of kindness can create a significant impact. The HOW motto emphasizes:
- One woman with $10.00 can buy another woman lunch
- Ten women with $10.00 can buy another woman’s groceries
- One hundred women with $10.00 can make a real difference in another woman’s life.
