I have been a part of many charities for over 20 years! I loved Most of the people and organizations I worked for. Not a lot of people can volunteer their time. I was always fortunate enough to be able to give a little bit of my time. I have found that the older I get, the charities feel like the days of going to the trendiest clubs. It can really start to wear on you. People tend to care about who is chairing, the red carpet, magazines, what you wore, how many charity events have you been to this year? I can’t keep up. It’s like the over 40 club scene!!! NOT all of them but most🙄. Of course, there is good in most of it, but then there are the few that ruin it for everyone because it’s for the wrong reason. I had to take a step back. I always say this, but it’s so true I want to be like the wizard of Oz and make it happen from behind a curtain. I want to make sure my time and money is going directly to the person in need. Recently, I have been doing just that, and it has given me great purpose again! 😀

I love to be hands-on, and including my kids.... if you are interested in volunteering your time on a small scale but touching one person at a time, please reach out to me. I will personally send you the information on how to get your dog TDI certified, so you can touch a child’s heart in a hospital, veteran, and elderly person. I am going through the training to become a CASA. (Court appointed special advocate).
Foster care desperately needs CASAS. These are little things that can make a huge impact. We do need the big charities and big money. But we also need the people that can do small things with big hearts!
