Hi, my name is Sheíla (sounds like Shyla). I am a wife to my wonderful husband, Chris, and a mother to our three beautiful sons- a 4 year-old, and 2 year- old TWINS!
I have experienced deep pain, and I have experienced abundant joy. Through the trials that life has brought my way, faith and hope have always carried me through. I have come to believe that everything happens for a reason, and that every obstacle in life, no matter how painful, is an opportunity for growth.
I'm a practical gal with big dreams. My idealistic outlook is not the outcome of a sheltered life, but the product of a positive reaction to negative circumstances and experiences.
My heart is for people, and I ache to help anyone with a need. In 2007, what began as an online outreach from my family helping another family thousands of miles away, spiraled into an effort now known as "Hope And Support". (www.HopeAndSupport.com) This led me to my role as Director of Charity Services at McGill Charities (www.McGillCharities.com), where anyone who has a need can "ask for help" from others across the globe.
Recently, I have had the honor of being a part of the Goodwill Treaty for world peace, and was named the International Co-Lead contact and Ambassador for the State of Pennsylvania. (Please check it out at www.GoodwillTreaty.org) I believe that peace begins inside our hearts and overflows to those around us. It's something worthy enough to spread, and I intend to do so.
