Living With PANDAS (nope...not that kind of Panda) S2E16
Stephanie Simoes is an entrepreneur, mom of five children & wife residing in Pennsylvania. Stephanie has been running her own businesses most of her working life, beginning with a traveling gymnastics program at just nineteen years old. Through the years she has developed a passion to give back more and more through her work. She really enjoys working with & contributing to nonprofit organizations, especially those supporting animals, special needs families, & veterans. Stephanie is a Senior Director at ONEHOPE Wine. She specializes in fundraising, gifting, private wine events & wine delivery. She works with people & nonprofit organizations to raise donations and awareness for various causes throughout the year. Stephanie provides favors, logo bottles, personalized gift boxes, customized refills & sets up shipping across the United States. What she loves most is that a glass of wine gives back your charity of choice! Stephanie has used ONEHOPE Wine as platform to raise awareness & donations for PANDAS Network the last few years as the condition has directly impacted her children. Stephanie & Zak Clayton conduct a monthly show highlighting smaller nonprofit organizations, in an effort to raise donations, but more importantly to get the word out to more people about their mission. The show is called Community Pay It Forward ONEHOPE Fundraiser (the link can be found in her linktree). Stephanie runs family businesses with her husband, Paul. They are serving the local community through their contracting work, with a residential remodeling focus. They are also building cabins to curb the homelessness crisis in the veteran communities. Through Stephanie’s experience working in the nonprofit space, it has become clear that there is a need for veteran housing. Since learning this, they have shifted their focus to acquire & renovate homes to be rented to veterans through HUD VASH. In addition, Stephanie & her husband have founded New Heights Homestead. Her family is relocating & building a mountaintop homestead from the ground up in West Virginia. Stephanie’s love for animals, and mission to provide the healthiest lifestyle for her children has driven this mission to find land for the last 13+ years. Due to a rarely diagnosed medical condition that has affected her children, her focus is a healthy environment, sunshine, animal therapy, and healthy foods. She plans to serve the community & nonprofits through the work they do on the homestead. If you are curious about topics like homesteading, off-grid living, animals, non-traditional home designs like container home builds, more natural living topics, & growing food you can subscribe to @newheightshomestead on YouTube to follow the progress! Stephanie wears many entrepreneurial hats. She believes in being consistent in working towards your goals, but also finding a way to help others in the process.
