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.

Denver Promise Walk for Preeclampsia
An early morning for a walk in the park.  A walk in City Park to be more precise.  With an 8 am check-in time for the event and an hour and a half drive to get there, my daughter Tiffany and I rose earlier than a rooster!  I've always believed that having my daughter attend charity functions with me is a great way to get her on track to leading a life of gratitude and service for others in need.  She has been eagerly participating in and attending events for most of her young life.  The former Mrs Colorado International, Melissa Heideman, is a preeclampsia survivor and asked us to come walk for the cause.  Of course we jumped at the chance.  Melissa and her family are very dear to us and we wanted to help.  An astounding $19,000 was raised!
