FOUNDER 
RADIANT DESTINY INTERNATIONAL
Danielle Ellinas 

From the time she was little, Danielle remembers her most 'happy place'  being with children.  After earning her B.A. in Psychology, with a focus on children, she taught in a private elementary school for six years.  Her and her husband, Marios began co-pastoring Valley Shore Church in Old Saybrook, CT in 2005.  Her passion to care for children never waned.  After seeing students in need, at her own children's elementary school, Danielle started the Back to School Clothing Initiative and a From the Community For the Community clothing exchange in her community.  Over the years, through these two initiatives, hundreds of children have received new or like new clothing from generous community members.  
While visiting Ethiopia in 2015, Danielle was greatly impacted by the scores of homeless children and orphans.  After spending time in an orphanage and seeing the grim conditions, Danielle became determined to build healthy homes for these and other children from underdeveloped countries. As Radiant Destiny continues to reach out to communities locally and internationally, through the various initiatives,  a Healthy Homes for Kids initiative is on the horizon.  


In addition to her work at Radiant Destiny International, Danielle works full time as a project manager, and teaches in her local church and at conferences.
​
Danielle and her husband, Marios have three children - Christos (19), Caleb (17), and Chloe (15).

FROM THE COMMUNITY FOR THE  COMMUNITY
​Founder of Ledyard Clothing Exchange
​
Camie Lozier

Camie has learned, over the years, that in many instances we cannot meet the spiritual needs of others until we have met their physical needs. She has a love for others and wants to serve in order to see people’s lives changed for the better. She desires all to walk in freedom, love, and joy. Camie has come to realize that if you are willing to reach out a hand of love, others will gratefully reach back. It is through relationship that lives are changed, families are made whole, and finally the community is affected for the better.
Over the past 8 years Camie and her family have been licensed foster care parents through the state of Connecticut. She has had the opportunity to “mother” and nurture dozens of lives. Camie has also worked for the past four years at Gallup Hill Elementary School as a Para-professional in the literacy program. Through working with these students she was able to see the need first hand, and was moved to make a difference in their lives. 

Camie and Scott live in Ledyard, CT with their two daughters Aubrie (15), and Katie (14).
