Our Team

Rebuild Hope is a public benefit corporation ("not-for-profit") staffed entirely by volunteers who are committed to making our online community a major way non-military donors help injured military personnel and their immediate families. At some point in the future we will need a small paid staff to manage our expansion but even then we will rely heavily on the efforts and talents of volunteers.

We post specific volunteer opportunities as needs arise.

Volunteer Team

	Barbara Millin is a Veterans Advocate. I have been a veteran advocate for one year. I met Dana at our local dog park about to years after he started Rebuild Hope. His desire to do something to help the veterans matched my thoughts whenever I had passed one of the two local VA hospitals. I began volunteering after selling my events business and retiring. In addition to volunteering for RH, I tutor English learning children in reading and pursue political interests. For recreation I hike, bike, cook, go to the theatre and enjoy the company of family and friends. Barbara lives in Palo Alto California.
	Sharon Floyd is our Veterans Advocate Coordinator. I'm an Army brat who lived in Arizona most of my life in between my fathers overseas tours I have worked for the Federal Gov't for the past 28 years as a Teleservice Center Rep, Claims Repand in corrections. I have been retired for a year. I thoroughly enjoy helping others whenever I can. Sharon lives in Memphis Tennessee.
	Tiffany Hart is a Veterans Advocate. My Name is Tiffany and I am from Ohio where I just graduated from The Ohio State University! Go Buckeyes! I wanted to get involved with Rebuild Hope because I was raised with parents serving in the military, and recently my Mom served in Iraq. I have worked with non-profits organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and am currently an AmeriCorps member serving with an AMVETS Career Center. I love finding ways to give back to those who have given us so much already!
	Alana Biden is a Marketing Program Manager. Alana Biden is an English teacher and a coach at the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut. I found information about Rebuild Hope online, serendipitously, on July 4th, and emailed immediately to get involved. I'd just spent June in Joplin, Missouri, working with the Red Cross Disaster Relief team to help out in the wake of the tornado. When I was in Joplin I met countless veterans, and while the disaster to their lives and their homes was tremendous, the stories they shared with me about previous financial problems were also severe, and all the more troubling because they were so commonplace. As someone with servicemen in my own family and who is proud to be protected by our men and women in arms, I decided to become part of an organization whose mission was to improve the lives of veterans and their families --- because they deserve it, and because accepting the status quo just isn't doing enough. I'm excited to be involved in spreading the world about Rebuild Hope through many efforts---through athletics, through social media, and, most importantly, through working directly with clients.
