Every year Project HELP grows its staff of caring people who are passionate about its mission. It is a hub for people who share the same commitment to helping victims of traumatic events. Project HELP is lucky and proud to welcome Vaneza Gonzalez who has an extensive background in helping individuals with her huge heart.

Vaneza Gonzales joined Project HELP in June 2018 after working for 15 years in the nonprofit sector focusing on education. She moved to Naples from New Jersey 15 years ago to pursue a Bachelor’s in Health Studies from Hodges University where she worked for 12 years in the Admissions Department. Her passion has always been in education, the nonprofit sector, and helping others. Vaneza is the youngest of 5 children and comes from a very close family. She loves to travel and when asked what places in the world she wants to visit, she will say “Anywhere. There are over 190 countries in the world and I want to see them all.” As the Community Engagement/HELPline Coordinator Vaneza believes in supporting and empowering the victims of traumatic events, and she hopes to spread the mission and vision of Project HELP with the rest of our community.
