My Nonprofit Reviews

The Rebekah’s Angel’s Foundation has impacted and changed so many lives. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it. Rebekah so eloquently and graciously shares her story with the world and inspires others to share their own.

I worked in Title 1, urban classroom settings for the first 17 years of my teaching career. During this time I taught many students navigating unspeakable trauma while others navigated the generational trauma that is often found in families living below the poverty line. I knew that trauma impacted learning. I did not know HOW MUCH that trauma impacted their learning until I experienced my own.

In 2013, I was at the finish line of the Boston Marathon during the marathon bombings.
Part of my own healing involved following Rebekah’s courageous journey. In 2023, I was selected to be a part of their 10 person team to honor the 10 year anniversary of the bombings. The opportunity to reclaim that finish line in the name of helping others who were suffering from the effects of trauma, was a transformative healing experience.

My continued support of Rebekah’s Angels is my small way of working towards systemic change. The executive dysfunction that occurs in our students who are navigating trauma is an epidemic in this country that has been ignored for too long.
