What is a memorable story you have about Windwood?

Thus far at Windwood, my most memorable moments involve hanging with the boys at Trunk or Treat (such great Halloween costumes) and sharing Thanksgiving dinner with them at Life Park. However, sharing God’s word with the boys at Sunday school is always special to me.

35 Champions for Windwood - Windwood Clinical Team

Why is Windwood special to you?

"Windwood is special to us because we have been able to work with several children and families over the years. We have been afforded the opportunity to change different aspects of the clinical program. As a team, we focus on strengths of each team member and build off these strengths. Windwood has allowed us the capability to create a therapeutic team without limitations. Our team is committed to leaving an impact on the children and families we serve."

Why is Windwood special to you?

Windwood is very special because it offers these boys an opportunity to overcome their life experiences in their past and learn new skills to cope, thrive, feel loved and eventually be productive adults. Their stories are heartbreaking and they deserve the opportunities and resources most other young boys have.

What do you hope to see Windwood accomplish in the next 35 years?

In the next 35 years, I’d love to see a third house to accommodate more boys, I feel sure there are so many more boys in need of this experience.

Why is Windwood special to you?

I found out about Windwood working as a pediatric nurse right out of nursing school and knew that we wanted to get involved. The services Windwood provides for the boys are vital in their healing process.

What is a memorable story you have about Windwood?

I love that my kids favorite part of Christmas is shopping and wrapping presents for the boys and being able to spend Christmas Eve making memories at Windwood.

My fondest memory is playing baseball and basketball with all of the guys there one summer day. It was a blast!

What do you hope to see Windwood accomplish in the next 35 years?

In the next 35 years, I hope to see Windwood continue to be there for young men and expand their outreach to be able to have more young men use their services.

What is a memorable story you have about Windwood?

I treasure the bird walks I’ve taken the boys on. Birding isn’t on the top of every young kid's list of things to do, but to see how excited they get spotting a bird at the farm with binoculars brings joy to my heart.

What do you hope to see Windwood accomplish in the next 35 years?

I would love to see Windwood have more people involved and more staff to support the important work that they do. Expanding their program to increase capacity for children and staff I think would be a wonderful thing for the families who need it.
