As each year passes and we gather, to look at all I have learned and been involved in – experienced – both personally and professionally, truly makes me realize how blessed and thankful I am.

On top of that energy allows me to enjoy time with my family and friends in a bright & warm environment this holiday season!” - Rex Harrison, New York City

I look forward to the sense of community, forgiveness, and overall humanity that accompanies the holiday season.” - Lily Hassan, Houston
“Life has brought many changes over the past year for my daughter and I: some great losses and some wonderful adventures.

My daughter is my greatest joy and priority in life, so I am grateful to have a good work/life balance here at NFE. This allows me to add value to the organization as well as be the mother my daughter needs.” - Rebecca McCalmon-Kuntz, Houston
