Suzan Sweet, Executive Director Working at Gilead House is my passion. My desire is to see these families obtain a better quality of life. It is my greatest joy to walk side by side with them as they embark upon that journey.

Kieawnie Shedrick, Family Advocate Working at Gilead House is more than a job, for me it is a labor of love.  I am blessed with the opportunity to embrace families while they transform their lives. I have the added joy of sharing experiences with so many caring and devoted people willing to give their talents and time to Gilead House.

Volunteer Staff/Debbie Pogue--Mentor Coordinator
Mentoring has been a life changing experience for me, full of challenge, love and growth.  Every moment has made a difference!  As mentor coordinator, I feel that I am offering the gift of a lifetime to women who are willing to give of themselves.
