Meet Reena

Reena is the Chief Executive Officer of Charity for Hope and the daughter of Navinbhai Patel.

After Reena and her husband Vipul Dayal found out that her late father had begun the process of establishing Charity for Hope, they felt it was their duty to carry out Navinbhai’s vision to honor his memory.

Reena has a background in teaching and attended the University of San Diego, from which she graduated with a Masters in Education.

While she misses teaching students, she keeps busy by taking care of her three children Nyah, Kayden and Navya (who was names after Navin), helping run the family hotel business and writing for her blog, Chai Mommas. Reena loves spending time with her family and their two dogs.
