Writing is my Passion. Serving is my Mission.

As a former foster care parent, I have a heart for those that have gone through "the system". In a desire to give back to my community, 20% of book royalties are donated to charities focused on reaching at risk teens. Please learn about these organizations below.

Statistics

Around 26,000 youth leave foster care (age out) each year, mostly at age 18

31–46% of youth who aged out without permanency experienced homelessness at least once by age 26

Only 1 out of every 2 foster kids who age out will have some form of gainful employment by the age of 24
