This month, we shine the Volunteer Spotlight on Amanda Swanson, a fourth-year dental student. Learn how a long-time NFED volunteer’s meaningful relationship with his dental patients inspired her to get involved with the Foundation and help families affected by ectodermal dysplasias.
Advocacy is Something We Are Meant to Do Together
Morgan Rigsby is the kind of mom who wants to model the behavior she wants her kids to have. That’s why she’s become a passionate advocate for the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act. In our Volunteer Spotlight, Morgan talks about what volunteering has taught her, how she celebrates the small victories with her son, and why you need to be open to sharing your story.
Our NFED volunteers light the way!
Whenever the NFED has a need, our volunteers step forward and help. We want to let you know that your dedication and inspiration is essential to the work that we do—we simply cannot do it without you. THANK YOU!
