As a foster parent for nine years and now an adoptive parent, I've spent a good part of my adult life in the foster care world, including working for foster care organizations. I have a deep commitment to serving and loving the vulnerable, and I believe supporting the families who care for these children is vital. As someone who has been given great privilege and blessing, I see it as my responsibility to care for those who are vulnerable, and I love encouraging and supporting others who step into this space as well.

​

What I love about this Foundation is its holistic approach to the family. We support not only the children in care, but also the parents and the other siblings in the home. By working with the families to ease different stresses that so often comes when a family steps into hard places, we hope to help them keep loving the vulnerable well.

​

This is a deep commitment of mine. I'm grateful to be part of something that can strengthen families, improve their ability to love the vulnerable, and make their experience of the foster care system, which can be heavy, complicated, and hard to navigate, a little lighter.
