“I’ve had my share of dark storms and am eternally grateful for those who were a light for me when my light had almost gone out.  I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl whose journey on earth was just shy of 24-hours. I am also a five-year breast cancer survivor and understand that learning you have cancer changes life as you knew it.  The loss of my mom was the darkest storm of my life. I understand what darkness is. I have a passion for helping others and want to make a difference and an impact on everyone around me and within my path.”

“My first storm in life began at the age of 13 when I learned my mother had been diagnosed with cancer. She was my world, and I lost her when I was 15. I joined Relay for Life years ago.  I enjoyed my time with Relay, but a few years ago, I felt the need to do more for those in our community. I wanted to help individuals and families get through their storms, as so many people did for my family and me.  My friend Cathy and I began thinking about how we could help people in our communities. We were joined by others and have been able to bring our vision to reality in Kind Souls, Inc.”

I am originally from New York but moved to NC in 1997 when I got married.   I have four children and an amazing husband!  I am a teacher who absolutely loves what I do!   I found Kind Souls through my work and I completely blessed to be part of the team!  I love everything they believe in and it is an honor to serve my community in this way.   

“I, too, have faced a medical storm in my life. I was diagnosed with cancer in December, 2016.  I am a proud seven-year cancer survivor!!! I can empathize with the emotions and stress that one experiences when such a storm hits. Time seems to stop for you and your loved ones.  Support during this time is crucial for one’s survival, and I am thankful to my family and friends for being a light for me in my time of need. Now with this non-profit, I hope be a part of that light for others.”
