NYSPCC Supporter Spotlight: Dr. Raashida Edwards

The NYSPCC would like to highlight the kind support of Dr. Raashida Edwards, DSW, LCSW, whose monthly contributions have demonstrated an incredible commitment to helping New York's most abused and neglected children. When asked why she supports the NYSPCC, Dr. Edwards said,

"I'm a survivor. I'm a mother. I'm a New Yorker. It’s my responsibility to donate to the NYSPCC because I see all children in the universe as my own, and as such, I have an intentional responsibility to them. It’s not complicated."

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Dr. Edwards. You inspire us all!
