Andrea Jaeger is a former #2 ranked female tennis player turned philanthropist. An active Christian (nondenominational), she co-founded The Silver Lining Foundation, based in Aspen, Colorado, which she has run for more than a decade. She also operates the Little Star Program that has as of April 1, 2006 merged with Silver Lining Foundation becoming Little Star Foundation, headquartered in Durango, Colorado, which gives money and provides programs to children afflicted with a variety of hardships and diseases.

In the 1980s, Andrea Jaeger was a tennis phenomenon. She turned pro at the age of 14 and was the #2 ranked female tennis player in the world. Despite her success on the courts, she knew that tennis was merely the platform to her calling in life: to help children in unfortunate circumstances.

Although not from a religious background, Jaeger had a constant and supportive companion in God, who guided her through the often isolating experience of being a child prodigy in the competitive, adult world of professional sports, and led her to visit and buy toys for hospitalized children around the world. When a career-ending injury at the age of 19 set Jaeger on the path of helping children on a full-time basis, she gave the earnings that would have secured her retirement to co-found The Silver Lining Foundation, benefiting children with cancer. From humble beginnings, the foundation today assists children and their families with specially designed programs that bring joy, comfort and long-term support.

God makes miracles happen if we choose to listen and follow. Andrea Jaeger let God inspire her to greatness. Through this amazing story of hope and perseverance, unconditional love and divine guidance, readers will find the inspiration to discover their own special calling.
