#4HELP WALL OF HEROES
Because #4Help is staffed only by volunteers, we have MANY people to thank.
However, there are individuals and companies that have made an extra effort to assist us with building and enhancing our agency. But for individuals and companies listed below on our Wall of Heroes, we would not be on course to accomplish our mission.
We thank all of our amazing volunteers, to our Wall of Heroes, we offer an extra special thank you. Heroes, to add additional content to your page, please click here (please note, access to this page requires a free membership account. To join please click on membership icon in the header).

Justyn Fizgerald
Volunteer Coordinator
Coordinator of New Volunteers
Justyn has been with our agency for over 6 months. Her original role was to assist with designing brochures and other print materials. Given that she is a high school student, we have been very pleased with her commitment. For this reason, in May 2020, we asked her if she wanted to fill a newly created position, Volunteer Coordinator. Justyn jumped into the position with both feet and has put tremendous effort into a very difficult role. Given that we have over 60 volunteers - and only volunteers managing other volunteers, keeping everything organized requires patience and organization. Justyn's work is exceptional!!!

Huizhe Zhu
Managing Volunteer
Database Coordinator & Volunteer Manager
Sunny joined our team in 2019 as a database volunteer. Because of her skill and experience, she soon had #4Help correcting and updating the way we added data about hotlines, helplines and chat lines to our master database. After a few months, Sunny agreed to take on a manager's role, assisting with the development of an updated training program for our Database Team volunteers. We would not have accomplished as much as we did during our first year in operation, but for Sunny's hard work.

Parvathy Sarma
Managing Volunteer
HelpUnited Outreach Team Coordinator
Parvathy is one of our agency's first volunteers, and she has been with us longer than any other volunteer. She has been tasked with coordinating our first, full-scale boots on ground, outreach project, National Hotline Volunteers Month ("NHVM"). Parvathy has taken on this tremendous responsibility and has never wavered from working towards our goal of recruiting 200 high schools, with at least 10 students per high school, to assist us by distributing NHVM materials in their areas during the month of October 2020. Parvathy is an amazing person indeed!

Jon Ruscoe
Managing Volunteer
Database Coordinator & Volunteer Manager
When Jon started volunteering for our agency, we could tell right away that he was a special person. His kindness and genuine personality could not help but shine through. Once he made it very obvious that his skills were worthy of a managerial role, he was promoted to his present position. We are very fortunate that Jon chose to volunteer for the Database Team. He has and continues to play a critical role at #4Help.
