Just 13 more days left in my career representing abused and neglected children and then a brand new life chapter begins! I'm drawn to continue serving others in new and broader ways, and this build project with Habitat for Humanity jumped to the top of my list. It'll be both a celebration of the end of my career and an awesome way to spend my birthday with children and families I haven't yet met. But most importantly, it will bring warmth, safety, and compassion to others. Thank you so much for your support!!

What does this project mean to me? Volunteers coming together to build a community for children and families that will bring warmth and safety. The camaraderie and lifelong friendships created by working with others. Raising personal awareness about a culture vastly different than my own. Learning, growing, and stretching myself to continue serving others in broader and deeper ways. And the meaningful connections and precious moments of each day, every hour, and minute. Your encouraging words and thoughtful donations are bringing this vision into the light and will make this project successful. Thank you all!

Wow, your early responses to my fundraising request have already raised 25% of my goal! Thank you SO much!! I'm honored to have this opportunity. Your support for me and this important project are so appreciated!
