National Center For Missing and Exploited Children "Team Hope" honors Don Wiswell as volunteer of the week


Featured Volunteer of the Week

Don Wiswell

Families of Hope Team

By: Susan Morrow, Team Coordinator


With immense gratitude, I am honored to present Don Wiswell, a member of the Families of HOPE team since August 2009. Don is an extraordinary “gem” in all aspects. In particular, his intuitive wisdom and true, heartfelt compassion underlie his support with parents who experience international and domestic child abductions.

On the “lighter” side, Don possesses a wonderful sense of humor. He lives in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, or "LSD" (Lower, Slower Delaware, as the town and all of Sussex County are known.) Don states that the area enjoys the “laid-back label and welcomes open-minded spirits of all genres.” He loves living at the beach and told me that all Team HOPERS are always welcome to visit!

Don has an incredible family that includes his lovely wife, Susan, and five children, ages 36, 18, 15, 14, and 11. Along with being a member of AE, and a “taxi” for their younger children, he and Susan enjoy the children’s achievements as gifted pianists. His younger sons are both All State band and Jazz band members.

Along with feeling “spectacularly blessed” with Susan and their children, Don is “so grateful to be a small part of (Team HOPE), a wonderful organization that does so much good in a difficult world.” WE are ever so fortunate to have Don as a volunteer!
