Our Leadership Structural Changes

At Save Sunshine Shelter Kids, the safety, well-being, and growth of the children we serve are always our top priorities. To strengthen our programs and ensure their continued impact, we recently implemented important structural changes within our leadership team.

These changes followed a careful review and thoughtful planning process, guided by a single priority: maintaining stability for our programs and the children in our care. While change is never easy, it has allowed us to move forward with greater clarity, stronger systems, and enhanced accountability.

Even during a season of operational challenges, our commitment has remained steadfast. Through collaboration, careful planning, and trusted partnerships with service providers, our programs have continued to operate effectively and expand. We remain focused on responsible management, long-term sustainability, and delivering tangible results for those we serve.

This period has reinforced the importance of resilience, transparency, and strong leadership. Today, our organizational structure is stronger than ever, and our mission remains unchanged: to protect, restore, and empower vulnerable children and families.

As part of this process, three individuals:- 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮 𝐀𝐛𝐝𝐮𝐥 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐲, 𝐁𝐮𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨, and 𝐍𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐚 𝐓𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐲 were released from their volunteering roles last year. The separation was formally concluded and legally finalized in January 2025. While this was a difficult decision, it was necessary to ensure a safe, stable, and well-functioning environment for both our children and the organization as a whole.

We are deeply grateful for the trust, support, and belief our community continues to show in our work. Together, we will keep moving forward stronger, more focused, and more committed than ever to making a real difference.
