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.
Thank you Pleasant Park Grange for giving me to opportunity to speak at your group meeting today to share information on the Mrs International Pageant System, Go Red for Women and ORPHAN AWARENESS via Give to Orphan Kids.  I enjoyed meeting with all of you!  Though the internet connection made the visual presentation impossible, I was still able to share my stories!  When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  After spending time with these community icons, I was presented with a huge suprise.....a check for Give 2 Orphan Kids.  A very heartfelt thank you goes out to the organization and their generous donation.
