Hello! I am a Door County native and have three adult sons, one son w/angel wings, & one daughter. I have spent my entire adult life struggling either because of my own poor choices, or an unfortunate life circumstance or event. I am a domestic violence survivor, I have: been a homeless parent, lived in poverty, moved too many times, grieved over my infant son, had to pick up my children from school because of suspension, find a new daycare because they got expelled when they were toddlers, and more….
Today, my two eldest sons are doing great and even better than I was at their age. My third son just moved out on his own and is doing well too. My daughter is struggling, yet we have the support needed, to keep working with her through her challenges. I am doing well too; I am very happy that I am able to use my life experience to support others.
Our lives would not be how they are today if I hadn’t received support from community services like WIC, Door-Tran, DC Housing Authority, HELP of Door County, food pantries, Dept. of Health and Human Services, Family Services of NEW, counseling, and many more…
I know first hand how parenting, and even just life sometimes, can be challenging. I want you to know I am here to listen and support you in any way that I can to make your journey a bit easier.
Be respected. Be empowered. Be Informed
