Kathy DiFiore, Founder of the Several Sources Foundation, is a native of Rochester, New York and received her Undergraduate Degree in Psychology from the University of Rochester in 1969. Her business career included holding the position of Personnel Director at, American Express, Credit Card Division and at a large international chemical company.
Upon reflecting on her role as as Personnel Director, she thought she might be able to help more people in need on a part time, volunteer basis by giving them her friendship and spiritual support as found in the Holy Scriptures. In 1981, Kathy decided to turn her own home into a Shelter for mothers and their babies. As the demand for her help for pregnant women grew, Kathy made her decision to leave the corporate world and devote full time to helping mothers and babies in need. In a short time the demand became so overwhelming that with the help of other volunteers, she is now operating four shelters in New Jersey, and over 15,000 babies have been saved from abortion.
In June of 1989, Kathy received an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Felician College and shortly thereafter the New Jersey State Council of the Columbiettes named her "Humanitarian of the Year". In 1991, the New Jersey Assembly passed a resolution honoring Kathy`s work with mothers and infants throughout New Jersey and poor inner city children who are "at risk" and children who are afflicted with AIDS (in Newark, NJ). Many of these children are homeless.
