About Amy Steinhour

I’m a founder and healthcare leader driven by a simple but powerful idea: we can do better when it comes to supporting our loved ones during life’s toughest moments.As the Founder and CEO of GiftWellSoon, I’m reimagining how people show up for one another during times of illness, loss, and recovery. Too often, friends and family want to help but don’t know how leading to missed opportunities for meaningful support. GiftWellSoon bridges that gap with a platform that makes generosity organized, personal, and impactful.My journey began after witnessing firsthand how isolating and overwhelming serious illness can be. Traditional gestures like flowers or casseroles, while kind, often don’t meet the real needs of those going through difficult times. GiftWellSoon empowers recipients to create personalized registries that reflect what truly helps, whether that’s meal services, childcare, transportation, or financial support.This mission has grown into a broader movement to normalize intentional giving and authentic connection. We recently began recording Let Me Know If You Need a Podcast, a series that highlights stories of resilience, community, and the creative ways people show up for one another when life gets hard.Looking ahead, my vision is to scale GiftWellSoon into a nationally recognized brand that sets a new standard for community-driven care and support. We’d love to connect with thought leaders, industry experts, and nonprofits who share our passion for transforming how people give and receive support.Learn more at giftwellsoon.com.
