Petra Danielsohn and Ana B. Salgado on supporting education

Petra: “I grew up in Germany, and lived in London and Zurich, but I’ve always found living in New York mesmerizing.”

Ana: “I spent my first 30 years in Colombia, then moved to New York. We’re both passionate about education for children as well as older people.”

Petra: “Our lawyer, Judith Turkel, recommended The New York Community Trust, first for a donor-advised fund, and then in our wills. We want to pay back New York now and in the future: This is where we found our lives and our luck, our happiness and our love.”
