So here’s a little ray of sunshine to brighten up a gray
day. Maria D’Angelo, who grew up poor in
New York City, became a teacher. And we
all know what that means – so much more than a profession! Something happens when a teacher looks at a
problem – there is both the intelligence and problem solving ability and the heart that leads to a program
like D’Angelo’s Children’s Lifesaving Foundation. Starting with helping one homeless child who
couldn’t read in 1990, D’Angelo has now built an organization of 250 volunteers
that works to get the most vulnerable children in our society to college. The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation has
provided 45 students with four year scholarships – after working to make sure
that the students were prepared to take on that challenge.
