Heidi’s Story (1964)

Heidi was the second child her parents adopted from
The Village. When she came home to her new family, her father gave her Bunky, a stuffed monkey that has been with her for 61 years and serves as a memento of her parents’ love for her.

Heidi’s connection to The Village runs deep. Today, she also volunteers to support The Village in multiple capacities, including volunteering through her role at KPMG and as an Auxilian with The Village’s Glastonbury Second Chance Shop, where she helps raise funds to support The Village by selling new and gently used clothing and housewares that have been donated.

“The Village has given me a wonderful life, and I will always be grateful to them and to my parents,” shared Heidi.
