🌟 Meet the Team Monday 🌟

This week we are proud to spotlight Cheryl L. Caines, a dedicated PATH Board Member and Chair of the Nominating Committee, who has been serving with PATH for 3 years. Cheryl also spends time each week working directly with the moms and children at PATH through tutoring, homework support, and fun crafts.

A retired Special Education Teacher and Special Education Supervisor/Director, Cheryl has always been passionate about helping others become the best version of themselves and reminding people that they are not defined by their circumstances. That passion is what inspired her to become involved with PATH and support families navigating housing transitions.

What brings Cheryl the greatest sense of fulfillment is the opportunity to spend time with the children, helping them strengthen their academic and social skills while witnessing the growth and progress of both the children and their parents.

One thing Cheryl wishes the community better understood is that no one wakes up and chooses to become unhoused. As she shares, “We are all just one choice away from a different life.” Her perspective reminds us of the importance of compassion, understanding, and support for families facing difficult circumstances.

✨ Fun Fact: Cheryl proudly won a Gold Medal in her family reunion’s scavenger hunt! 🥇

Thank you, Cheryl, for sharing your time, talents, and heart with the families at PATH. Your dedication is making a lasting difference in our community. 💙🏠

🌟 Meet the Team Monday 🌟

This week we're excited to introduce Israel Moore, Board Member at PATH and an Optometrist at Pocono Eye Associates, who has been serving on the PATH Board for the past year!

Israel first became involved with PATH after attending the Women, Wine & Wisdom fundraising event. Inspired by the love, compassion, and direct impact PATH has on families facing housing challenges in our community, she later toured the house and was honored to join the Board of Directors.

What brings Israel the greatest sense of fulfillment is helping raise awareness about the tremendous need that exists in our community and being part of creating meaningful change in the lives of our neighbors.

One thing she wishes the community better understood is that every person can make a difference. Whether through volunteering, donating, or simply sharing PATH's mission, community support helps families not only overcome immediate challenges but also build brighter futures for themselves and their children.

✨ Fun Fact: Israel is an avid traveler who has visited six continents—with Antarctica being the only one left on her list! 🌎✈️

Thank you, Israel, for your dedication, advocacy, and commitment to helping PATH strengthen families and build hope throughout our community. 💙🏡

🌟Meet the Team Monday 🌟

This week we’re excited to spotlight Shatorah Wilson, Assistant Director/Case Manager at PATH, who has been serving families through the program for the past 2.5 years!

Shatorah began her career in social work in 2018 and has worked in a variety of roles supporting individuals and families experiencing homelessness and crisis. Her passion for advocacy and helping others find stability led her to PATH, where she now works alongside the team to provide high-quality support and services to families in need.

What brings Shatorah the greatest sense of fulfillment is watching clients overcome barriers, save toward their goals, and ultimately receive the keys to their new home. She takes pride in being an advocate her clients can count on—showing up with honesty, compassion, and unwavering support.

One thing Shatorah wishes the community understood is that PATH is much more than temporary housing. PATH is a stepping stone toward long-term stability, helping families build self-sufficiency, strengthen life skills, and create a foundation for a brighter future.

✨ Fun fact: Shatorah shared that her attention to detail and strong work ethic are influenced by her OCD, which has helped shape the care and dedication she brings to serving families every day. She’s also learned the importance of self-care and maintaining balance so she can continue supporting others at her best.

Thank you, Shatorah, for your compassion, leadership, and commitment to helping families thrive! 💙🏡

This week we’re proud to highlight Sarah Goodrich, Board Member – Secretary at PATH, who has dedicated an incredible 20 years to supporting our mission!

Sarah first connected with PATH through a golf tournament, where she quickly saw the impact of the organization and knew she wanted to help serve families in our community.

One of the most fulfilling parts of her role has been leading the Annual PATH Walk for 15 of those 20 years. She has watched it grow from raising $8,000–$10,000 to over $22,000 in recent years—an inspiring reflection of our community’s generosity, even during challenging times.

Sarah hopes the community understands that the need is still very real. Every family has a story, and even helping one family at a time can make a lasting difference.

Thank you, Sarah, for your years of leadership, commitment, and heart for PATH and the families we serve! 💙🏡
