Lee Glide
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteer of the Month

August 2010

Our August Volunteer of the Month is Lee Glide from Littleton, Colorado.

Lee is a very reliable volunteer with a history of going out of his way to help the families that he serves. Here at Headquarters, we recently received a story that illustrates just how much he is willing to give a family:

On June 28, Denver's Lutheran Medical center sent out a call for a NILMDTS photographer to capture memories of a family to whom twins had just been born. The little girl had unfortunately passed away, and the little boy needed to be transferred to a different hospital in order to receive treatment. Lee graciously accepted to take the session and rushed to Lutheran to photograph the little baby girl so that the family could go to Children's Hospital to be with their son.

The story doesn't end there. That evening, the call came from Children's Hospital saying that the little boy who had lost his sister earlier was actively passing away. Lee didn't hesitate to accept this session, and went immediately to Children's Hospital to serve this devastated family. As if that wasn't enough, Lee later made yet a third trip to the hospital when the family was able to bring both of the twins together, so that they could have memories of their two precious babies together with the whole family.

Katherine Payne, another Denver area photographer who volunteers alongside Lee, had this to say about him: "When I think of the Volunteer Of The Month, I think of this one selfless man, Lee Glide, with this exceptional story of not only doing exceptionally beautiful work, but also of giving of his time, talents and heart. He is a HERO with Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, or at least to me, and I am proud to call him my friend and colleague."

Please accept our thanks, Lee, for being such a dedicated volunteer and always going above and beyond to serve families in need.
