1. The joy of easing distress and fostering healing with encouragement, advice, a prayer, and offering financial assistance if needed.

2. I find joy mentoring women who need direction in their lives, whether it is work-related or with their personal lives.

3. I love serving others in education and church leadership.

Young and mature women.

My great concern is to help rescue individuals who are being sexually trafficked through my financial giving. And those who are in bondage to drugs can be given guidance, prayer, and God’s prophetic word. It brings me joy to see people who are new Christians to help them with spiritual direction, and teach them bible principles.
