June’s Volunteer of the month is Heidi Billingsley Keuper! Heidi is blessed with the natural curiosity and determination to help others that makes a perfect storm for being a search angel. She and her sister, Cindy Billingsley Arocha, began their careers searching for their biological niece. Heidi’s natural talent led her to volunteer at several Facebook-based groups for those searching for biological families. Her skills and her compassion for clients caught Laura’s attention and … well you know what comes next, Laura could not resist the opportunity to make Heidi an offer to volunteer with DNAngels!
