My Nonprofit Reviews

HEALS has been a part of my heart since 2001 when I first heard about the agency and started working there. At the time there was a medical clinic at Lincoln and a dental clinic in a portable classroom out the back door of our offices. I witnessed not only the struggle of a young non-profit to keep its doors open but also witnessed the miracles that the agency accomplished. I have seen firsthand the joy that lights up a child's face when they get a brand new pair of shoes. I have heard the relief in a parent's voice when they are able to get help for their very sick child. I have seen the humbleness in the eyes of the volunteer doctors and dentists who know that if they didn't give of their time and talents that these children probably would never get the health care they need. I have been there; I've seen what this agency can do when given the chance, when given the resources. From a personal standpoint I can attest to the frustration of knowing there is SO much need out there, so many children who suffer needlessly, yet not being able to do more for them. You cannot imagine the agony of having to turn children and parents away because we just didn't have the resources to provide services to all who needed them. HEALS can do so much more, reach so many more children if given the resources to do so.
