Crystal Higbee Email and Phone Number

I have always leaned toward leadership. I have been an advocate for people in need or who have been wronged since I was in grade school. I love a challenge and work best under stressful situations. I love the medical field and love school! My plan was to run and fix underperforming nursing homes. In the middle of my new quest for another degree I felt called back to the special need's community. The Circle of Friends Ministry, Inc. is a nonprofit dear to my heart. It serves a high risk and neglected demographic of our society; low-income special need's individuals who have aged out of public school. It provides them access to further develop independent living skills, allows them to socialize amongst peers, and integrates them into the community through volunteer works and other activities. It is not government funded and almost 100% of students attend by scholarship. This makes grants and donations vital for our doors to remain open to this demographic. I hope and pray that I will be able to bring this organization to a place of stable growth and sustainability by building its' base, increasing support, and developing new services. I will continue working hard to see this vulnerable demographic reach a place where they are living their best life.
