I firmly believe that every child deserves a healthy and happy start to life. The New York Foundling provides disadvantaged children and their parents/caregivers the tools necessary to successfully navigate the many challenges they face – from childhood, to adolescence, to adulthood. Education and preparation are essential, and I am very proud to be part of such an innovative group that exercises intelligent, yet compassionate solutions.”
