Founder Story: Desiree Vargas Wrigley & Give Forward

By Alex Yohn
Jul 1, 2013

This founder story is from the very inspiring and focused co-founder of GiveForward, Desiree Vargas Wrigley. GiveForward is a service that helps the friends and family of sick loved ones provide financial support for medical procedures.

The entire team at GiveForward is focused on one goal: to create light for their customers who are experiencing a very difficult time in their lives. Everyone who works at or uses GiveForward as a service should feel that “the work they’re doing on a very individual level has an impact at a very individual level”. Walk into GiveForward and listen to the buzz of customer support calls and coworker support and you know they’re doing just that.
