“We are so grateful for the gift that Nadine Pearce is for CFCA and for each of us ñ sister, mother, friend ñ accepting everyone just as they are and encouraging us to be our best,” said Paco Wertin, CFCA chief executive officer.
Nadine was a familiar face here in Kansas City. She knew many employees by name and was a weekly volunteer.
She was proud to help process and send about 1.4 million letters from sponsored children to their U.S. sponsors annually.
We commend Nadine to Godís loving care and support her family with our prayers. She died exactly two months after her brother and CFCA co-founder Bud Hentzen passed away.
Thank you so much for your support during this difficult time.
