Additional Information
While I was living in Ohio, I was a volunteer for our Richland County Court of Common Pleas, Juvenile Division, as a Casa/Gal. I served as a voice for children that did not have one. I believe everyone needs a voice, no matter who they are, adults, children, young or older. I feel we should always speak up for those who cannot do it for themselves.
Past Volunteer Work
Early 1990's: Domestic Violence Shelter-helped with repairs, helped when someone moved, walked the children during counseling sessions.
