I work to connect communities with better internet. Support developers on new builds and help property teams upgrade existing sites with Deborah Hamar is the founder of PPFI, an organization dedicated to supporting families navigating the complexities of specialized care. A chemist by trade, Deborah chose to put a career in science on hold years ago to become a full-time support provider for her son—a decision driven by family that eventually sparked a community-wide mission. Since establishing PPFI in 2017, the organization has grown to support dozens of families in similar need, providing them with the resources and advocacy they deserve. By blending her analytical background with a deeply personal understanding of caregiving, Deborah has built a bridge for families who often feel they are navigating the system alone. She is proud to contribute to the Oregon community and looks forward to collaborating with fellow Chamber members to strengthen local support networks.
