Sloane and her team’s hard work and dedication is something that we truly admire and have personally witnessed their hard work, time, patience and genuinely caring effort that should make us all proud to have Sloane and Hello Neighbor here in Pittsburgh.”</p> <p><strong>Feyisola Akintola, Community Partner Award:</strong> “It’s such an honor to be in this room and to be able to work with people such as yourself Sloane. If it wasn’t for people like you, the work that we do would be meaningless. Unless local government is working with community partners - people that have a heart for this work - our jobs would just be a news article with nothing behind it”.</p> <p><strong>Marla on behalf of the Segals, Champion Award:</strong> “Hello Neighbor was a dream that was active with Sloane when she had it in the very beginning and it is absolutely amazing to see it realized”.</p> <p><strong>Deven Nahata, New Neighbor Champion:</strong> “I’m so humbled and honored, alongside the other award recipients, to be a part of such an incredible organization that changes the lives of our new neighbors each and every day”.</p> <p><strong>Barbara Reichbaum, Volunteer Advocate Award:</strong> They are my family, and I am theirs. I treasure our match and I have been humbled by their openness, their kindness, their perseverance, their passion to make the world a better place while living in this country that they love”.</p> <p><strong>Gisele Barreto Fetterman, Good Neighbor Award:</strong> Hello Neighbor is the perfect example about how one person with an amazing team can truly make a difference. We love to think that we’re really small in this really big world - and we are - but we’re not. And Hello Neighbor really shows that”.</p> <hr style="margin: 32px 0 32px 0 "> <div style="margin-top: 2.4em"><!--style="background-color: #022169; padding: 8px; margin-bottom: 32px"--> <h2 style="margin: 0 0 16px 0;
