Spokane / Washington / United States
Donna Henry loves how the Spokane River twists and winds its way through the city, changing course to accommodate the streets and buildings. It is always ever-present, touching the lives of the people who live in Spokane as well as the people who pass through the city, leaving a lasting impact. To Donna, the river is like life itself. Sometimes a persons life can move in the wrong direction. But if you do something that makes a difference to that person, you can change the course of his or her life; just the way changing the flow of the water makes a river change course. That desire to make a difference is the greatest driving force in this gifted professionals life. Donna was 25 when she volunteered for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, and for the next seven years she was both sister and mentor to a little girl named Jessica. "She was only five when I first met her, and she was afraid to come near me," Donna remembers, "but eventually she touched my life as much as I touched hers." That experience set Donna on a life course thats had an impact on many lives, from the children she helps through the Wishing Star Foundation to the families she guides through one of lifes major events. Donna was born in upper New York State, but her mothers work as a nurse for the Veterans Administration took them all over the county. Ask her where her desire to help others comes from and she will tell you through the example set by her mother, who devoted her career to disabled veterans, "Shes the kindest, most generous person I know," Donna says. "Shes the one who taught me to always think of other people." It was her mother who inspired Donnas pursuit of a career in the dental field. Donna spent 12 years in the field before co-founding a custom home construction company , a business thats fueled by her shared passion to help families create the perfect lifestyle. Donnas devotion to making a difference is the foundation of her successful career as a real estate professional. Donna understands that any move involves a transition—whether its the purchase of a first home, or the sale of a home lived in for decades. Its not just her special sensitivity to the challenges and stresses that come with a move that makes Donna unique, but the fact that she considers it her mission to make the process smooth and stress-free for everyone involved. Donna makes this possible through the use of sophisticated telecommunications technology to support the comprehensive service she offers, including timely and detailed market information and follow-up.
