Carol Borneman, is the backbone of Healing the Children.  For over 30 years, she has led all our administrative processes for 15 chapters nationwide. More importantly she is the safety net for every call, every issue, every plan, and every project that HTC endeavors.  She is a wealth of experience and knowledge, whom you can ask the question who did what when? ...and she knows.  Through her leadership, HTC has been able to secure unique funding opportunities which have kept the national office on solid ground for many years.  Without Carol, HTC might not have navigated the challenges of COVID-19, but amazingly all our Chapters survived and now thrive.  Carol enjoys time with her husband, family, and sweet poodle Zoey.
