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.

Today, I was honored to be the guest speaker for the VFW.  I have met a few of these veterans in the past and was excited to be invited to speak to them.  I shared information on being Mrs Colorado International, the International Pageant System, Go Red and my platform of Orphan Awareness.  To my delight, I was presented with a check for Give 2 Orphan Kids so that I could purchase care package items for La Casita Orphanage in Mexico and Michelle McLean Orphange in Africa.  I will be combing the stores and the internet to find the needed items.  Each orphanage has given me a "wish list" of what is needed.  It's heart breaking to see the basic neccessities that these children are without.  I'm so grateful to the VFW for helping make these care packages possible. THANK YOU!
