What inspired you to give to VNSNY’s “Strength from Within” Employee Giving Campaign?

Kimberly Colorito, Provider and Corporate Compliance Specialist

“I work for VNSNY because I believe in our mission.  I feel like my small contribution brings us one step closer to fulfilling our mission and helping those in need.”

Dana Edwards, Associate Director, Partners in Care Private Pay Service

“I was inspired to give because of the Maternity, Newborn, Pediatrics program. I look at it this way: In each person’s life, there will be a point where we need someone’s help to make it through. In the case of a newborn, they are totally dependent on others. I imagine a little hand reaching towards me, and I think, ‘How can I not take it?’”

Debbie Sorace, Manager, Marketing

“I contributed simply because I believe in VNSNY’s mission and the fundamentals upon which the organization was founded—to care for those at most risk.”

Teresa Lin, Director, Cultural Marketing Development Initiatives

“Being part of the VNSNY family, I would like to contribute to make a difference, whether it’s big or small.”

Michael Rocks, Education Manager, Business Operations

“I was inspired to give by the work undertaken by the VNSNY Hospice and Palliative Care teams, which is really quite extraordinary. In a number of instances, I have had the opportunity to observe firsthand the impact of the care and comfort that these interdisciplinary teams deliver to patients and to their loved ones. Understandably, the roles on these teams demand special people with special talents. Happily, these individuals serve the patients of VNSNY.”

Tania Fairweather, Interdisciplinary Care Team Manager, Brooklyn

“I gave because I believe that it is better to give than to receive, and I wish to share the blessings I have received.”
