Holy Family University Student Engagement shared this wonderful story about our Holy Family University Habitat for Humanity Chapter recently. 

"T wo of our amazing Habitaters - Jackie Hagan and Jamie Keba - traveled to Summerville, SC for the second time this year. This trip, however, wasn't to help build another home. Instead, the women visited the site where our 2015 ASB group worked in March. We reported a few weeks back that the new homeowners, the Creel Family, had received the keys to their new Habitat Home. 

The Creel fa mily was given another gift when Jackie and Jamie arrived. As an extension of love from our Family in Philadelphia, the Creel family received a HFU housewarming basket. Within the basket, among other great items, was a large, Family-sized HFU blanket. We also sent HFU stuffed animals for their 3 children to enjoy. 

We are truly all about Family at HFU. These young women have provided yet another example of how awesome it is to share that sentiment with others.

We continue to send our prayers to the Creel family. May their home always be a place of love, learning, faith, and family!"

In 2001 Sorrel King's daughter Josie died as a result of medical errors. Consumed by grief Sorrel was determined to honor Josie's memory. She and her husband created the Josie King Foundation. Setting out to prevent patients from being harmed or killed by medical errors, she entered a world unknown to her-the health care industry. Sorrel King has become a nationally renowned patient safety advocate. As a public speaker she travels the country spreading her message to hospitals, doctors, nurses, CEOs, board members, medical/ nursing students and more in hopes that Josie's story will inspire change thus creating a better, safer healthcare industry for us all. 

 

Sorrell King was chosen as one of "50 Women Changing the World" by Woman's Day magazine in February 2010 and is the author of "Josie's Story: A Mother's Inspiring Crusade to Make Medical Care Safe."
