Gift boxes for the holiday and being grateful

Hi blog family! God is amazing, Angels are everywhere looking out for you! Congrats to all my college youth who made it through another semester! We are watching you and here for you!

Turkey day is near! I want those of you who have any family, be grateful, even if they are not where you want them to be!
I also want those who, like myself have no family, (actually I found some through a birth cousin on FB!! lol) but who don't have family they are in regular contact with, to BE GRATEFUL! yes, I am repeating because no matter what your circumstances, being grateful will allow anger, fear and hurt to take a back seat so that love, peace and serenity came come forward in your life!

I know many people but truth is I always feel alone since my brother died. I have wonderful people in my life and even found some family but no one has ever checked on me, supported me or loved me, (besides my kids), like my brother! I know I say this because we grew up in foster care together since he was a toddler and I was 5! We had a bond like twins and I never believed anyone loved me, aside from my girls.... like my baby brother. But I am always grateful for the 41 years I had with him because many lost siblings at birth, many were not born.

Be grateful this holiday. If you don't have food, go to a church dinner, many states have them for free, check your local church! If you are lonely and have no place to go, email me and I will try my best to make sure you have some place to eat for Turkey day! If all else fails....Go volunteer at a church to feed the homeless on Turkey day, yes, I said give of yourself and help others, it takes you out of your own funk! This is how FosterKidsUnite, Inc was started, so I could honor my deceased brother and help others! It has been 5 years and what made getting through easier? Helping others and being grateful for what I have!
Enjoy your turkey day and check out the gift boxes donors have sent for our Gift boxes for the holiday/testing project, this is just one, I am picking one up Sunday from some fellow comics!!

We have much more in store for our youth ...stay tuned xo

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

hi blog family!

you should often re-evaluate what is going on in your life and where you fit in in this life. We all have talents that were meant to be shared. Often we don't find them or we follow a path not our own.. this song is brilliant reflection of late 60's...and even now... nothing in this life changes...but us..:) be the change of good! xo

We are working hard to get non profit status, please bare with us and know that we will do the work regardless! When you try to do good, expect challenges to come, greet them with open arms. I am so thankful to the donors who are trying to help us file our paperwork. I have always said as my foster mom taught me, honesty is best. If you walk away, you did not have good intentions anyway and that....is ok, my focus remains strong and only God can get me off my course to help more aged out youth!

Thank you two Kims, Len & Judy for your donations, every dollar helps us get closer to our goal!



I found this old article but thought I would share for any new viewers!

I hope you are all well and doing something to make this a better life experience for ALL of us!

If you see something in this world that needs BE the change to make it happen, don't wait for others, the right time, the money....that will never happen, just do it, and if you fall, get back up, dust off and have another go at it! This is life we never give up!
