“Through this wonderful honor, I’ve met a lot of really wonderful people that are also equally doing exceptional work in St. Louis. I think it’s nice to just celebrate each other,” Granote said. “It’s not really about the recognition. It’s really about helping people…” ❤️

This is such a wonderful story! Please read it below.🗞️

Call Newspapers’ Ellie Marshall highlighted 2026 Women of Achievement honoree Aleeza Granote and her volunteer work that grew from a simple act of kindness into something that has touched countless lives throughout our community.

What began with handmade cards for hospital patients eventually became Cards of Hope – a growing effort focused on connection, compassion and making sure people facing illness or isolation know they are not alone.

We’re grateful to Ellie and Call Newspapers for sharing Aleeza’s story and the meaningful impact volunteerism can have throughout the St. Louis region.❤️
