Personally, I am grateful for the support I have in my life from my friends, family, and coworkers. Life becomes easier to deal with when you have great people in your corner who have your back… Having a 180lb lap dog helps with that also :)

Professionally, I am so grateful for my amazing coworkers aka my work family! To be able to come work and truly enjoy the interactions we all have is so great!  I am also grateful to be able to work for an organization whose mission and morals align with my passion for helping for individuals and building up our community.

I am thankful for my coworkers and all their support this past year.  I am thankful for the challenges my job has given me to keep me on my toes.

I am thankful for my family, friends and coworkers and all their support.  As many of you know, it has been a rocky year for my family.  Lots of tears been shed.   I am thankful I am learning to live each day to the fullest as we don’t know about tomorrows.

I am grateful that my husband is now cancer free! 

I am grateful for the intentionality many organizations in Clark County have towards expanding their programming and materials to include diverse populations and languages. 

Wendy Voorhees, Administrative Assistant 

I am grateful for the Foundation and the last 7 years which have flown by. Seems like yesterday when Ted hired me.  We have a great team that works very well together to keep the vision of the Foundation running. 

I am beyond blessed for my family & friends, to have a roof over my head, food on my table and have no real needs/wants. Yes, we all have the needs/wants, but being blessed with the other things is more than some are afforded.
