I have been blessed with three healthy children but I know first hand that not everyone has been that fortunate. Locally I support Friend’s of Tennessee’s Babies with Special Needs. Their vision is to connect the families of infants and young children with disabilities to fellowship, resources, and support – Because Babies Can’t Wait.

My favorite non profit is my church. This is because they have full transparency to where funds are going AND they support other causes with the general fund that I care about. I know that my single donation to the church also goes to help feed the homeless, provide scholarships for summer camps for children, and so much more.

My local charity is Kids Rock the Nation. Founded in 2014 along Florida’s Palm Coast, Kids Rock the Nation helps children build self-esteem, discipline, and purpose through musical performance and mentor-ship. We envision a world where all kids across America have access to the instruments and arts education they need to truly build a rocking nation. The single criteria for choosing candidates is a student’s desire to learn. Guided by this philosophy, Kids Rock the Nation have donated over 1,500 instruments to schools and individuals alike providing them with guitars, drums, keyboards, violins, and many other instruments.

I am a firm believer that each one should teach one. We can only get ahead if we sincerely help our neighbor when we can. This is one of the many reasons why I love Dress for Success Charlotte. How better to support upward mobility and sustainability than help uplift women and support making them financially stable. Dress for Success is not just a suit. It is only the beginning!

Locally, I absolutely love the purpose and mission of the Dream Campaign (www.helpmedream.org). They provide opportunities, training, and mentorship for at-risk youth who have may not have had training in basic life skills like money management and finding a job. The Dream Campaign starts building relationships in elementary school and walks beside the students all the way until they secure their first job. It’s a win-win for the youth, as it gives them a sense of purpose and redirects them away from gang recruitment.
