I was born and raised in Mexia, TX. I am a wife, mother, and a grandmother. I love doing things for my community. I have a passion for raising awareness about trauma, anxiety and depression. Too often it is swept under the rug and people are silently struggling to feel included and “normal”. I love my community and want to be able to give back as much as I can. This started as an idea, and now it has become an amazing group of volunteers, that all have the same vision of helping others and reminding them they are not alone. I am proud to be a part of this.
