She received the Father Gerald Creedon Housing Award, the organization s top recognition. It s named after Gerry Creedon, who founded the housing provider in the 1970s. It was an extraordinary honor to receive that award, because Father Creedon – he put so much out there for people to do.
The award was presented by Former CFH Vice President Charlie Einsmann, who felt a special connection to the recognition.
Creedon introduced Einsmann to the non-profit and supported him when he was considering purchasing the East End Mobile Home Park. With his support, I got the rest of the board members to agree … With Helen getting the award and me presenting it, it just came full circle, Einsmann said. That was kind of nice.
