Weekly, I would see to it that all of the Pre-K and Kindergarten children at my son's school had snacks, drinks, holiday treats, etc. It was therapeutic and I loved getting to visit with kids on a regular basis.

Currently I am the advocate for a disabled, elderly woman that is illiterate and co-dependant. Her husband passed away and she has no one to help her.  I tend to her lawn, animals, household duties all the while teaching her how to do these things for herself.  She has even learned to to use the riding mower and put gas in her own vehicle.  I am also her advocate responsible for all of her legalities pertaining to her widows benefits (VA, SSA, 401K, life insurance ,etc).  I assisted her to purchase her first house, at 68 years old.  I am so excited to see her gain her self confidence and learn to be independent.  She is as proud of herself as I am of her.

Through the years I have volunteered and managed several animal shelters.  At one point in my life, I owned an equine rescue for 4-5 years.
