My Story
“As my husband and I fostered children for years, it helped develop our mission to give hope and be of service to the community after realizing that many children came from homes where they were a number and not a member of the family. Our first therapeutic foster assignment became our son, Joshua gave us HOPE, and ultimately helped us see the changes that needed to happen in the community. It takes a village to raise a child and we’re a part of that village so we’re committed to give back in every way that we can.”
