Meet Our Board of Directors and Officers
Theresa M. Sears
Founder & Executive Director
Mrs. Sears was born in Dublin, Ireland. She moved to America when she was twenty years old. She is married with two grown children. In her early days in America she worked with children in daycare centers and preschools. She taught at Landmark Christian School for six years. While there noticed that families were struggling with transportation issues. That’s when she started her company Transporting Angels LLC. She expanded this business from driving schoolchildren to providing non-emergency medical transportation to those with disabilities, Veterans and the elderly. While getting to know her clients she noticed that transportation was putting a tremendous burden on them and their families. So, in 2017 the planning began for Lets Go Services, a non-profit company that would provide transportation that would go beyond driving clients from a to b but also offer help when they arrived at their destination.
