Everybody Needs a FriendTM was born when
founder, Alexander Hice, was in the hospital and
recovery facilities throughout the Jacksonville
area.
Alex was amazed at the number of patients who
never had visitors or supporters. He understood
the importance of having a friend who was
willing to hold a hand, give a hug, or share a few
minutes of their time.
Alex is passionate about developing this resource
for individuals in need.
