What is she doing now? Something new! Well not really...I have always loved helping people I have been in the health profession for 30+ years and now have the opportunity to put my time and energy into a non profit that will take me to foreign places (isn't the Gulf Coast foreign?):), meet new friends, have fun and help people!
It has taken me awhile to get here! Getting together a non-profit can be consuming! But we finally got legal! With the help of the Mississippi Nonprofit Center (awesome organization!) and the support of friends and my wonderful husband, we are up and running!
Our projects: (as usual - I always take on a handful!)
1. Local projects - Support groups - We have started a fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue support group at Pathwayhealth on the first tuesday of the month at 6:30. Call Betty Sue OBrien for more info.
2. International: Education Unlimited - Betty's daughter, Casey is finishing up her time in the Peace Corps and has now undertaken a new project.....a school for English as a Second language. The island is part of the Cape Verde isles off the coast of Africa. Stay tuned for more information and fundraising events.
3. International: Roatan, Honduras Clinic - Peggy Strange is a Nurse that went on a mission to this beautiful Island and started a clinic. The first floor of the hospital will be finished in Nov. 2007. Supplies, money and volunteers are needed.
Hey we need you! If you are interested in getting involved, let us know, we need people, money and things. Right now it is like a horse race....we have some sponsorship and events for the African project and Fibro support so we need to keep the momentum going.
Hey I am in!
