Our Team
Meet the Board of Directors
Ana Suarez Fleming
Founder & President
My passion for this charity comes from the loss of two brothers from suicide and depression. I want to contribute to those who can make a difference in the life of someone who is suffering. I can’t help but think that if depression was not looked down upon, just maybe we could have saved my brothers. If we can save one life, then Inspire to Live has served its purpose.
Esperanza Suarez Kelly
Vice President
My life totally changed after losing 2 brothers within 3 weeks of each other to suicide and depression. When my sister Ana came to me with the idea of Inspire to Live, I just knew it was my next charitable organization that I would put all my effort in. I am a crazy fundraiser and since this topic sits so close to my heart, I jumped straight in. I am so ready to make a difference with Inspire to live. Join me by making a donation. No donation is too small, I promise.
Elena Suarez Dellinger
Secretary
Having been affected by the loss of two brothers to depression and death by suicide, I want to do everything I can to make sure other families don’t go through what we’ve gone through. I am honored to serve on this board and look forward to making a difference and inspiring others to live.
Kathy Lopiano
Treasurer
It is an honor to be working aside this group of leaders to bring awareness to such a critical issue as death by suicide. We hope to raise the collective voices and allow those that need an outlet to be heard. I hope you will join us in this fight!
Patti Wheeler
Board Member
Life long friends of mine and close family members have been devastated by suicide and as a board member of Inspire to Live, I hope to be part of the solution. We have to find a way to help those in need because every life is worth it. After a decades-long career as a television executive, I am now retired and committed to using my talents towards this cause.
