Sometimes this work takes time away from my kids, but that’s the small price I have to pay the sacrifice of people that have gone before us. I come from a faith background and I believe that to whom much is given, much is expected. So, the fact that I have been really blessed means that I need to make sure that others get the help that they need as well, I need to give back!”
