Long before SAFE was founded, Donna was a sounding board for co-founder Jen Levine's idea to create a space for families impacted by mental health and substance use. Again and again, idea after idea, task after task, Donna responded with a resounding "YES." Yes, to making the phone calls. Yes, to sending the emails. Yes, to developing a response to a crisis shrouded in stigma.
Donna’s unwavering confidence and support of our programs over the last 8 years has left a permanent impact on our organization. We are forever grateful for her guidance and her commitment to the SAFE Coalition.
