Truly A
TEAM EFFORT
HeartShare Human Services of New York would not be the outstanding
human services agency it is today without the devoted and compassionate
staff who helps to improve people’s lives. Many of our employees return to
school to further their personal education and better serve our clients. This
is just one example of their personal commitments to HeartShare.
William R. Guarinello
At HeartShare, we develop and train our staff to be the best they can be.
We have countless employees who have been here for more than 10 or 15
years and have worked their way up the ladder. For many, this is not a
job, it’s a career. They believe in the work we do and want to help people
become more independent and develop to their fullest potential.
When outsiders visit our programs, the one comment we repeatedly hear is
how apparent the love and dedication are from our staff to our clients. Our
staff believes in the philosophy that the people we serve come first.
The staff members that you will meet on the following pages are just eight
out of 1,400. We couldn’t feature everyone who truly makes a difference
in the community for there aren’t enough pages to do so, but this is truly
a team effort.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Executive staff, we would like
to thank our employees for the hard work they do every day. The whole is
truly only as strong as its parts, and they are our strongest parts.

“The look of
happiness on a
parent’s face when
their child learns
something new
makes it all worth
it for me.”

It’s FUN WORKING
with the CHILDREN
and watching
them GROW.

It takes a special kind of person to work with children with
special needs, and Norma Torres is that person. After working at HeartShare’s Kiwanis First Step Early Childhood
Center as a Teacher’s Assistant for six years, Norma earned
her Master’s degree and is now a Special Education Teacher.
She works with 12 children, age three to five, and helps them
build a strong foundation for their futures.
Each day follows a similar routine, as repetition is an important component of the children’s learning. The morning
begins with free playtime, and then the work begins. They
start by going through the days of the week, the types of
weather, the alphabet, and who’s in school today. All of
these activities are done to music.
Following that, the children may then have music therapy,
read a story, begin a science lesson, play an educational
computer game, prepare instant pudding for snack, or create
an arts and craft project.
“Many of the children have speech delays, so we focus a lot
on using words and building vocabulary,” noted Norma.
“If a child says ‘I want that’, we encourage them to use the
right words for whatever the item is.”
By the end of the day, the children, and Norma, have
engaged in a variety of activities. “It’s fun working with the
children because you never know what they will say. I watch
them grow throughout the year, and I really feel like I am
making a difference in their lives.”
Norma Torres
We become part
of their FAMILY,
and they become
part of OURS.
“I decided to go
back to school to
get my degree so I
could better serve
the needs of our
consumers.”

Working 40 hours a week at HeartShare’s Scibelli Residence is a full-time
job for Kim Rendeiro, but she still finds the energy to go to college
full-time to earn her degree in social work. As a Residential Counselor
working from 4 pm to midnight, Kim assists the three men and three
women living at Scibelli Residence with their daily activities, including
cooking, doing laundry, cleaning their rooms, administering needed
medication, and enjoying recreational activities.

“When Rosemarie first moved in, she didn’t want to take part in preparing
dinner,” noted Kim. “Now, we can’t keep her out of the kitchen. I have
seen the consumers grow and become more independent in the three
years I have been at Scibelli Residence.”
The Scibelli Residence is just one of 21 group homes that HeartShare
operates in Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens. Kim and her co-workers
help the residents to become more independent. For some, the next step
is moving into a Supported Apartment, which has less supervision
because the consumers are able to do more on their own.
“We become part of their family, and they become part of ours,” said
Kim. “The whole house went to a Staten Island Yankees game and it was
such a blast to see the consumers enjoying themselves. It may seem like
a small thing to many people, but for them it was really exciting and gave
them an opportunity to do something they don’t normally get to do.
They can’t wait to go back again next year.”
Kim Rendeiro
RESIDENTIAL SERVICES
“I’ve had lots
of jobs before but
none were as
rewarding and
enjoyable
as this one.”
I am HELPING to
IMPROVE the
LIVES of
these ADULTS.
Going home at the end of the workday with a smile on your face because
you enjoy your job that much is not something most people experience.
But for Rosevelt Dume, that happens on a regular basis. Rosevelt is an
Assistant Group Leader at HeartShare’s Brooklyn Day Habilitation
program for adults with developmental disabilities, and he spends most
days out in the community with the consumers.
Rosevelt Dume
ADULT DAY SERVICES
Rosevelt accompanies a small group of adults, usually four or five
individuals, on various work and volunteer experiences each day.
The job locations chosen are based on the individual’s interests and goals.
Examples of those jobs include feeding horses at a stable in Manhattan,
doing maintenance at the local movie theatre, and serving lunch at a
nearby senior center. Rosevelt works with many of the consumers at the
program. Some groups take a van to their jobs, others may take the
subway, and some may walk if it is close by.
“This is my first job in this field, and I have been here for two years.
I can see that I am helping to improve the lives of these adults with
developmental disabilities and am really making a difference.”
D E V E LO P M E N TA L D I S A B I L I T I E S S E R V I C E S DAY S E RV I C E S
“I like working here because each person has such a different personality,”
shared Rosevelt. “They are fun to be around, and I like watching them
learn when we go out in the community.”

“Each consumer
is different
and has their
own goals and
dreams.”
I am ALWAYS
LEARNING about
NEW opportunities
for our consumers.
Being compassionate, having excellent listening skills and a possessing a warm
interpersonal style are just a few things that help Luigi Curto excel as one of
HeartShare’s Medicaid Service Coordinators. Luigi is responsible for coordinating the various services received by an individual with developmental disabilities,
an important service that HeartShare provides to consumers throughout Brooklyn,
Queens and Staten Island.
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES SERVICES MEDICAID SERVICE COORDINATION
Additionally, Luigi identifies the consumer’s needs, interests, and abilities and
helps him or her get additional needed or desired services. “I help them develop an
individualized plan that promotes independence and maximizes choices,”
explained Luigi, who has been with HeartShare for four years.

“I meet with the consumers on a regular basis and discuss any issues they may
have,” said Luigi. “If a consumer wants to try something new, I see it as my job to
say, ‘Why not? Let’s try it and see if we can make that happen.’ Often, the
consumers want more socialization or a better job placement.”
Luigi and his co-workers also inform consumers and their families about their rights,
services available, procedures that may be required to keep services, and meetings
that may be of interest. “My co-workers and I are out in the field a lot and are
always learning about new programs and opportunities for our consumers.”
“My job is really about getting to know the consumer better. You need to be
personable and listen. Once you make a connection, you are better able to serve
their needs.”

“I owned an interior
painting business but
wanted to do more
meaningful work, so
I earned my Master’s
in art therapy.”
Lesley Achitoff
Art therapy
OPENS THE DOORS
of communication
BETWEEN family
members.
Working with families in crisis is a second career for Lesley Achitoff, a case
planner at HeartShare’s Bensonhurst Family Service Center. Today,
Lesley sees 15 families each week to discuss their issues and conflicts,
and uses art therapy as a tool to open the doors of communication
between family members.
FAMILY SERVICE CENTERS
Lesley completed an internship at HeartShare while earning her graduate degree and chose to work here after graduation. “I liked the people
and the families I was working with during my internship and wanted to
continue working with HeartShare families.”
During Lesley’s sessions, she meets with clients individually and as a family. The art therapy makes it possible for families and individuals to focus
on the art process and product as being metaphors, which is less threatening than speaking directly about painful family issues.
“I had a father and son who were having trouble communicating with
each other. I gave them cardboard tubes and a glue gun and told them
to create something together. They worked together and created a house,
implying that a home is very important to both of them. It is helping
families like this that make my job fulfilling and rewarding.”

“A common technique I use is the deserted island scenario. I ask a family
to draw a deserted island and the five things they would each bring with
them,” explained Lesley. “This often enables family members to learn
more about each other and it helps me understand the family dynamics.”

EACH FAMILY
is DIFFERENT,
and has different
ISSUES.
In the 16 years that Alicia Coleman has been working at HeartShare, she
has helped reunite hundreds of children with their natural families and
has seen just as many adopted by new, loving parents. Upon graduating
from college, Alicia found her first job at HeartShare and has been here
ever since.
“I see myself as a
guide who helps
the families get to
CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES FO STE R CAR E/AD O PTI O N
“Working at a place like HeartShare, you get a lot of hands-on experience,
which is what I enjoy,” commented Alicia, a senior caseworker in
the Brooklyn Foster Care Program. “Each family is different, and has
different issues to address.”
12
Children are removed from their homes and placed in foster homes for
countless reasons. Alicia has regular meetings with the natural parents,
foster parents, and children. “I encourage parents and children to meet
the guidelines that are established on a case by case basis. I work with the
foster parents to address any issues they may be having with the child.
I have to remain objective and not judge people.”
Alicia’s top priority is the welfare of the children. When parents are not
able to care for their children, Alicia works to find adoptive parents to
raise them. “I would say about half of the children return to their parents
and half are adopted. Many foster parents become the adoptive parents
because they have built a relationship with the child.”
“The best part of my job is working with the families. I have always
enjoyed helping people and that is why I came here—to help families.”

As the Residence Manager for HeartShare’s HIV/AIDS Services Residential Housing Program, Charles Locklear helps coordinate the maintenance
and upkeep of 72 apartments throughout Brooklyn and Queens. This is
not an easy task for a man who has only three full-time maintenance workers on staff.

Charles Locklear
When the individuals or families living in one of HeartShare’s apartments
have repair needs or issues with the landlord, Charles is the person they
call. When an apartment becomes vacant, Charles is part of a team that
screens potential tenants. When it is time to negotiate the leases or find
new apartments, Charles is the one to do it.
“I used to work at shelters, but have been at HeartShare for eight years
now,” says Charles. “It is a lot to manage and some days are hectic, but I
don’t mind. I work with good staff who get the job done.”
The individuals or families who live in these apartments have been affected by HIV or AIDS. “For someone making little to no income, they
could never afford to live in a safe, clean apartment like ours. We furnish
the apartments with the essentials needed for daily living, but the people
living in the apartments are able to decorate it as they like.”
“I have always liked working with people, and I know that without HeartShare, the individuals and families in our apartments could still be homeless or in shelters.”
HIV/AIDS SERVICES
“I am here because
this is where I am
supposed to be.
I was brought here
for a reason, and
I have a job to do.”

Born and raised in the same neighborhood as HeartShare’s
Bensonhurst Youth Program, Program Coordinator Pam
Boccaccio believes that this program is filling a need in the
community, and she would know best.
The program offers an after-school program from September to June, and a camp during the summer months. During
the school year, there is a major focus on homework help.
“Many of our parents don’t speak English, so how can they
help their children with homework?” asked Pam. “We spend
about an hour each day on homework before we begin other
activities. Of course, if someone needs extra time, we give it
to him or her.”
The other activities Pam is referring to include arts and
crafts, martial arts, board games, billiards, and different
sports activities, to name a few. During the summer, kids
come to have fun, but education is still important as time at
the end of the day is spent on summer reading assignments.
“There are few other resources in this community for parents and children. When preparing for this year’s summer
camp, I asked my staff about their camp experiences. None
of them had gone to summer camp because it wasn’t available, even just a few years ago.”
“The kids come and they know that they are wanted here. I
know that we are helping to make the parents’ lives easier,
and therefore helping the family as a whole.”
