About the Author

In 1987 Matilda Raffa Cuomo, First Lady of New York State, started a New York State mentoring program, which, in 1995, evolved into Mentoring U.S.A., a national nonprofit organization dedicated to implementing mentor programs for at-risk children in grades K-8. The Person Who Changed My Life is being published as part of a collaboration between Mentoring U.S.A. and the U.S. Committee for UNICEF. The proceeds from the book sales will help further the work of Mentoring U.S.A. and UNICEF in the developing world. Mrs. Cuomo lives in New York City with her husband Mario. They have five children and nine grandchildren.
