After ten years working in economic
development and politics at the state and local level
and driving over an hour each way to and from work,
working with HTCNE is fulfilling and captivating
in so many
ways. I now have the opportunity
to apply what I have learned over the years to such a
worthy agency. To have an impact on so many lives is
simply a happy place to be. In an ideal world there
would be no needy children; instead of sitting back and
complaining, everyone affiliated with HTCNE is doing
something about it, in their own way...one child at a
time

Mother
of sons Alan, 22 and Shawn, 20 - who have taken
a back seat to the needs of
HTC
occasionally. Twenty-Two years ago I came to
volunteer at HTCNE and never made my exit.
Throughout the years, I have worked in each
program but the medical teams abroad program has
always been where my heart is. I
feel privileged to work with the greatest group
of people- both medical team personnel And
office staff.
It is so rewarding to send these teams
out and see the end-results of how many children
we were able to help and how our team changed
their life! This
organization has changed my life and how I look
at things as well! |

I
am a Medical Trips Coordinator by day (Mon.
through Thurs.) and a Landscape Architect and
Mom the rest of the time. Sanni (5)
is my daughter and chief assistant. She
delivers mail and messages within the office,
entertains Uva the new office dog, and draws
pictures to decorate our walls.
Kindergarten will be taking her away from the
office this year, so I will have to pick up the
slack. I started with HTCNE as a Foster
Parent for inbound kids several years ago.
How I morphed into hassling Docs to get their
paperwork in for the Medical Teams Program, I do
not know. But, HTCNE does
amazing work. I am honored to be a tiny
part of the work that is accomplished and the
thousands of lives that are improved each year.

For me,
Healing the Children has been an
exciting whirlwind of new experiences,
relationships, and opportunities. Each day at presents
a new challenge, and many new ideas. While the
thought of coming into the office to a new
project daily does seem a bit daunting, it
somehow always works out and ensures a work environment
that is far from boring. Every time I am
struggling with a challenge, I am comforted by
the fact that I am surrounded by a strong
support system of knowledgeable office
staff, productive international
partners, nurses,
doctors, other health professionals, volunteers,
and wonderful families all struggling for a
common goal: to give kids the medical care
they deserve. Through
Healing the Children, I have connected with
families from
all over the world . All
of these families have specific and unique
needs, and I have been able to be one part of
a team working
to fulfill those needs. That is why I
love this job.

After
graduating from the
University
of
Massachusetts
with a degree
in Political Science, I attended
Sacred
Heart
University
where I earned my Masters in Teaching for
Elementary Education.
Shortly after receiving my masters, I
was diagnosed with a recurrence of leukemia
and had to undergo a bone marrow transplant.
While I loved teaching, after
recovering from the set backs of the
transplant, I wanted a change, and a more
fulfilling challenge. I
found Healing the Children by chance (even
thought it had been in my backyard for years)
and have been thankful ever since.
I feel as though I have truly found my
niche in such a wonderful organization.

I
am a stay-at-home mother of four children with a
B.S. in Veterinary Technology. My children are
all in school full time now and I really wanted
to find a volunteer opportunity that touched my
heart. In January of 2004, I learned about HTCNE
and knew that it would be perfect. Although I
don't get into the office as often as I would
like, I love the time that I'm here and truly
adore and admire the rest of the team. I also
enjoy the fact that I am surrounded by fellow
Dunkin Donuts fans! |
