Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteer of the Month

November 2009.

 Our November Volunteer of the Month is Denver area NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer, Angela Donaldson.  Angela has done an amazing 24 sessions in her 4 months as a volunteer. She has truly become one of the rocks co-founder and Area Coordinator Cheryl Haggard can count on.  Cheryl has this to say, "I remember the first time I had ever talked to her. A call had come in for a NILMDTS session. She called to introduce herself and requested to shadow the photographer on this session. I wrote down her information to pass on to the 'main' photographer when one volunteered. I never got a 'main' photographer. I probably sent out 2 or 3 request through email. Angela saw these requests and called me back. She said she felt fairly confident that she could do the session by herself and would take the request. I talked to her for awhile about what she could expect, and to call me anytime during the session, if she had a question or concern. It was then that she told me she was a parent that had received NILMDTS services the year prior, from NILMDTS affiliated photographer, Gary Gray. Her son Ethan was born still on February 13th, 2008. I let her go, knowing deep down in my heart, she would do a wonderful job. She hasn't disappointed me. After her first session was completed, edited and given to the family, she called me almost every time a request went out. I had to tell her several times, to 'slow down.' Warning her about burn out. She has not taken my advise. October 23rd 2009 marked her 4 month anniversary with NILMDTS and to date she has done 23 sessions. I know I can always call her with my plea if a photographer can't be found for a session. Thank you Angela."

Thank you for being an outstanding Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep volunteer, Angela!

Congratulations! You are clearly due this honor!
