Review for Alexanders Angels Inc, Jericho, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am so proud to have been named to the Board of Directors this year. Alexander's Angels is truly a grass roots organization born of the love and lack of information found by a grandmother of a child with Down syndrome. Esther Gomez-Nieto and her family are inspirational in their dedication to education and advocacy as well as fundraising for research.

Review for Alexanders Angels Inc, Jericho, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Alexander's Angels has evolved through grass-roots organizing and the dedication of its founders. I first met Esther Gomez-Nieto as a result of being asked to help coordinate a panel presentation several years ago regarding Down syndrome advocacy and research at Briarcliffe College. I found her to be friendly and light-hearted while knowing how to get things done; a rare combination that I have always appreciated. Since then I have continued to work with the organization to promote and sponsor the annual Buddy Walk, host panel presentations, and contribute to other events developed by Alexander's Angels. It is wonderful to see how an organization born from a grandmother's love could blossom into a community for advocacy and encouragement. While we may not be "blood," the leaders of Alexander's Angels are family.

Would you volunteer for this group again?
