Benefits Of Donating TO PVED

Decent Essays
Donating to PVED has many benefits beyond giving to something that I believe in. For example, it’s a way to involve myself and support a cause I believe in without having to become physically a part of it. For me, Marna has fielded countless calls with my intended parents who were struggling with feeling okay about the process, or not understanding the logistics behind the cost of an egg donation or surrogacy agency. So many times she has emotionally prepared the clients I work with for the path they are about to go on. While I can explain it to them and create my own space of trust with my clients, sometimes they’ve been through too much or are too raw to feel safe with the place that will be taking their

    Volunteering at Veterans Affairs Medical Center was one of the greatest experience I've ever had. Sitting down with the elderly and getting to know them, I noticed if more teens could actually sit down and take the time to talk to an elderly person they could gain an opulent amount of knowledge. Sitting down and getting to talk an innumerable amount of veterans as I could, I was intrigued by how each person had a story of their own going through WWII. Voluntarily, I was able to contribute to the organization by having open conversations with the veterans, providing beverages, and having a great time. It wasn't till the end of the program when my perception began to change about the organization I volunteered for, it's more than just about kids…

    My Personal Goal Statement Every day I wake up, I ask myself how I can make a difference. This question has helped shape my personal values and principles and directed my path into the nursing field. Growing up in West Africa and witnessing firsthand the sufferings and impoverishment of the people around me, I developed a sense of compassion and willingness to make a difference and help alleviate their sufferings and put a smile on their faces. Healthcare delivery and poverty are two major underlying factors in the challenges faced in Africa, thus, when I got an opportunity to come into the United States, it was my golden ticket to finally give back to the community and make a difference. This led me into the nursing field; I started out as a Certified Nurse Assistant.…
