Fifth Third Bank Orlando Magic Maker Monica May: Committed To Others
posted on Fri, 03/20/2009 - 11:33am
ORLANDO Her reasons for being tremendously
involved with two local benevolent organizations while trying to
balance a career and mentor her 19 year-old daughter are quite simple:
intuition and common sense.
It was Fifth Third Bank Orlando Magic Maker Monica May's intuition that led her to become extensively involved with the programs Common Sense Childbirth Inc., and Consider Your Image, a non-profit organization she founded herself. And it's common sense that drives her today.
"I know there is a simple way to life," explains May. "If there is an opportunity to help put together a road map for young people, I want to be a part of that."
But May has been more than just a part of children's lives. In her work with Common Sense Childbirth, Inc., May helps to inspire a change in maternal child healthcare. The program empowers mothers (especially young and indigent) to bring healthy babies to term. The model was created by May's close friend, Jennie Joseph, a midwife who specializes in providing prenatal healthcare and nurturing to populations that typically don't get the proper treatment in traditional health settings.
