Shreya Suresh

Founder/CEO of Lift the Spirit

I created my nonprofit, Lift the Spirit, because I am passionate about helping the special needs community. Growing up, I was involved in buddy programs with SPED classes from elementary schools. Over many years, volunteering allowed me to develop leadership and communication skills, responsibility, but most importantly, I learned the value of creating bonds across different generations of people who need care and support, students with special needs to hospice patients. The joy from serving our community led me to start my own nonprofit organization.
