Community Service

Hello Everyone!

So it has been a long week or two. I am still loving every moment of my clinical rotation. But this week I also focused on a different goal. I was introduced to an amazing organization by my friend Maren called: Cuidando los Niños. http://clnkids.org/ Check out their site! Anyhow, writing a letter of intent and making my Curriculum Vitae user friendly was a brain challenge. Thank God for great friends! (Luv you guys!). Until next week! Here is a snippet of my letter, please put me in your prayers!

"Coming home to New Mexico this year gave me the opportunity to reconnect with friends and regain my roots in the community I was raised in. A few months after I arrived and started school, I was given the opportunity to go to the “Not one child, not one night, not New Mexico” breakfast event. I have attended charity events throughout my career, but this event was not just about the gift of charity, it was the gift to help others grow and develop. I left the charity event resonating with the Cuidando los Niños goals to provide care for homeless children in a way that would help them for more than just one night or even a week. I feel as though your organization has the key to success in helping the whole family for a life time.
My intent is to not only support your organization through time, and resources, but I would like to help your program continue to grow and succeed its mission. I not only have seen the effects that homelessness and lack of resources has on the body physically through my work in Emergency Departments here in the States, but also through my service in Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany, even during the devastation of Hurricane Katrina"
