Families Helping Families

I view my role as a mom to be the most rewarding, and challenging, thing I’ve ever done.  I was blessed with great parenting role models and have an amazing support system. Yet, I’m still sometimes overwhelmed with the challenges of parenting.

That’s why the charities I’ve chosen to support are ones that help families who need extra support or children who are experiencing foster care. CASA of the Eastern Panhandle serves families in my local community. One More Child works throughout the United States and overseas. And Romania Reborn helps children in Romania. They all strive to strengthen families in their own unique way, making the world in which we travel a little better.
