Mrs. Springfield USOA 2021. Be the change, be a volunteer has been a lifelong passion of mine . Having been born an orphan back in the 60’s, I went through foster care as well as the adoption process here in the United States. Though I felt as an outsider looking in most of my life since I was placed with a family who had biologically born children in the family, I nevertheless, feel blessed that I had a roof over my head and food to eat. Having a family of my own is of high importance to me. Being able to overcome the diagnosis of infertility due to cancer cells within my reproductive organs, my husband Bruce and I were ecstatic to welcome the birth of our daughter in 2006. Feeling as if my life is bountiful I give back to others by serving as a volunteer for numerous organizations and helping orphans in need. We have personally provided and delivered care packages and supplies to orphans in Mexico and Africa. I feel that providing personal attention in the form of a party for the orphans is integral to providing hope for children to see that others do care. I am thrilled to be married to the man of my dreams, a mother to my miracle child and the referee to our two black labs.

Approximately 6 hours ago, I received notification to evacuate my home due to a wildfire burning within just a few miles of our property.  Have you ever had a moment of complete clarity?  You just know what it is you have to do.  In a two year time span, I have been through a hurricane, a flood, a tornado, an earthquake and 2 wild fires.  God must have big plans for me as I realize that in every instance, my family and I came out ok.  So many things in my life are nice to have, clothes, food, cars, a home.....but when each tragedy struck, my drive was to save my family.  Period.  I look forward to the opportunities and doors that God opens for me in the future as I cannot imagine I am here by coincidence.  My daughter and pets are all safe staying with friends (my husband will arrive shortly from a business trip).  I often ponder and/or laugh at why during each of these life threatening emergencies that my husband was away.  I suppose I am an emergency expert at this point, lol!  Thank you all for your prayers and thoughtful messages.  Please continue to pray that our home does not perish.
