RITA HEATH
Forever Courage House Assistant
Rita came on board as a volunteer for the Foundation in 2005 after surviving 4th degree electrical burns to her left hand. She helped with health fairs in the beginning and became a part-time employee at Forever Courage House in the summer of 2006. Rita’s passion is to help other burn survivors and their families during their stay at Forever Courage House. Her role is more behind-the-scenes as she only covers the weekends and holidays. If she can make a guest laugh for one minute, then she feels good about her day by helping them forget some of the trauma they’re going through.
