I am influenced by the people who touch my life..I am a foster parent who works with teenage girls who are either at high risk or emotionally challenged due to excessive abuse in their lives..I write their stories so maybe just one person may open their eyes to what is happening to our children and maybe you are the person I am trying to reach..

My greatest and achievement has been earning enough money and being able to support my Mother financially and emotionally through a lung transplant and OF course two beautiful and intelligent daughters one of which gave me a grandaughter so life is GOOD....

On the official side I have recieved three awards from Pinebrook Services for Children and Youth for providing outstanding foster care to children that have been placed with me over the years..
