Heather Radu
Heather is the heart of Dorie’s Promise. As a young woman, she witnessed orphanages firsthand in Eastern Europe and knew there must be a better way. Immediately, a passion ignited in her that would alter her life. In the three decades since, Heather has devoted her life to orphan care. She believes all children deserve a loving family and founded Dorie’s Promise to care for children who may otherwise be forgotten. She is a force to be reckoned with, full of energy, passion, and determination to always provide every opportunity to our children. In her spare time, you can find Heather enjoying the beautiful outdoors of the Pacific Northwest with her family.
