 Her why: “I support Erin's Angels of CNY because as an educator, I witness every single day how hunger quietly steals a child's ability to learn, to focus, and to just be a kid. Erin's Angels was born out of a desperate need in the very school district that raised me, educated my children, and now shapes the lives of my granddaughters. I still remember seeing our namesake struggle—a bright child dimmed by circumstances no one that young should face. Her story broke our hearts and changed our community forever. Being part of an organization that honors her memory and fights to make sure no child suffers as she did is not just important to me—it’s personal.”
