ERIC CREEL, PRESIDENT
Eric came to The Foundation in late 2017 from The Children’s Home of Lubbock. He initially served at The Home as a House Parent alongside his wife, Larinda. After adopting two children, Eric began work telling the story and raising funds for The Home as a Development Officer. “I’ve been involved in ministry for most of my life, and this work of advocating for and supporting wounded children is a natural extension of that. Meeting big-hearted people and helping them connect their financial resources to their passion for helping others is so rewarding!” Eric and his wife stay busy with their own five children.
