Danelle LaPenta

Leader of Operations

Danelle enjoys all that comes with leading LoveHumanity.com's operations. However, what gives her the most joy is being a loving wife and mother.

Danelle's Secret Tidbit: Her favorite time has always been story time before bed. She finds the stories written by Sandra Boynton to be more entertaining than her own kids do! Shhh…she’s reading one right now.

Angela’s Favorite Quote::"If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be." – Maya Angelou

Milania LaPenta

Leader of Love

Danelle's daughter - Milania, visits the office to make sure we are smiling while we work. Milania was born at 23 weeks gestation weighing 1lb 2.9oz. Despite having been through so much, Milania is always happy…a true beacon of love and hope that touches everyone she meets. Teddy refers to her as "The Princess of Pure Love."

Milania's Favorite Quote: “I want something to eat.”

Milainia's Secret Tidbit: She secretly knows that love is all that matters! She often wonders when all of us adults will “just get it” ~ and just start loving each other. Five year olds are oh so wise in so many ways.
