My Nonprofit Reviews

I fostered cats and kittens for PPR over the course of their first few years. They have always been responsive and helpful to their fosters and provide all necessary supplies. When PPR pulled a four month old kitten with a broken rear leg and pelvis, who was likely going to need amputation and low-activity recovery, I didn’t hesitate to foster him. (It was no secret he was going to be a foster failure from the beginning!) And I’m so grateful to PPR for rescuing him. They never shy away from the difficult cases. Every animal that comes into their organization receives the very best in every facet of their care— from initial intake and assessment to selection of their forever home. Simply put PPR is a superbly run organization.

My favorite experiences with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra center on the innovative education programs, which reach an astouding number of children each year. As I am a firm believer in music education and its proven benefits, I am delighted each time I get to witness a child’s first experience with orchestral music. The Music and Meditation program, presented by the NHSO and composer Jin Hi Kim, had an immediate and profound effect on each child it touched. I was grateful to bear witness to these effects. It’s not every day one gets to watch a class of rowdy middle school children meditate peacefully and quietly. The look of concentration on their faces is something I won’t soon forget.
