For Robb, his motivation to join the board ultimately was to help change the lives of homeless youth, \u201cFor someone who was homeless and kicked out by my parents, I want to make a positive difference for someone who may also be experiencing that. I have a lot of experience fundraising, so I\u2019m hoping I can help with that. If I can make a difference in one youth\u2019s life that would be everything to me.\u201d","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/donor-stories-ron-robb-anderson\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/donor-stories-ron-robb-anderson\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/donor-stories-ron-robb-anderson\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Donor Stories: Ron &#038; Robb Anderson"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/#website","url":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/","name":"Daybreak","description":"Changing Lives, Creating Futures","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/#\/schema\/person\/16620ada454e430b0605caddc2a8f5e8","name":"Daybreak-Dayton","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5d0a932f04353fbe3789a80c1a17d930?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5d0a932f04353fbe3789a80c1a17d930?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Daybreak-Dayton"},"url":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/author\/daybreak-dayton\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4543"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4546,"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4543\/revisions\/4546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daybreakdayton.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
