The CFOH team has grown! Putting a face with a voice on the other end of the phone. Carly was born and raised in Eastern, NC and attended East Carolina University where she graduated from in 2017. For almost 6 years, Carly has been in Elementary Education. She has taught Kindergarten, First and Second grades. Carly's passion is helping children and she is very excited she can continue to live out this passion at CFOH by helping children get to the medical care they need. She has absolutely loved working at CFOH helping families alongside Marisa everyday! When Carly isn't working, she loves reading new books, visiting her family at the beach, and going on walks with her husband and their pug, Henry. Marisa was born and raised right here in Raleigh, NC and lives here with her husband, Matt, and corgi puppy, Sandwich! She spent the past five years working as a Pediatric ICU nurse. Marisa knew from an early age that caring for children was her passion, and now Children's Flight of Hope has opened her to a new way of serving children. Marisa says she is constantly humbled and amazing by the strength these children show. When she is not working, you will find her reading a good thriller or catching up on any kind of cooking show (Chopped is her all-time favorite). If you haven't 'met' them yet, reach out and say hello!
Nova What would you say to a parent going through this process? Nova's mom, Nicolette's, advice: "I would say, hold on to faith and don’t forget to take care of yourself. In these moments when our children are most vulnerable they look to us for everything and the only way to properly care for them is to first ensure that we are taking care of ourselves. This may be in the form of a self care day, reading your favorite book, painting, going on a date (especially those married couples). You have to pour into yourself, because you can’t pour from an empty cup. It may seem like a selfish act because your main focus is your child, but it is so essential in order to get through such a tough battle. We must ensure that we are doing our part to remain healthy and strong physically, mentally and emotionally to support our babies to the best of our ability."
