PROTECT IDAHO KIDS

Protect Idaho Kids is a non profit organization that helps get the message out to the general public for rescources that are already available and in place for raising children. I was asked to shoot a public service announcement and gladly accepted! The two young children are mine and I even got to borrow a friend that I've met through the adoption clinic to stand in as my 3rd daughter, since my real 3rd daughter got caught up and couldn't make it. I am very excited to have this air across Idaho to help get the message out that families are the most important thing we have, so let's raise them right!

City Lights 10 year birthday!!



I had the chance to go and celebrate with the Boise Rescue Mission and their City Lights, which is the women's and childrens shelter, 10 year anniversary! What an amazing, memorable evening! On October 2, there was a huge celebration including previous first lady of Idaho Patricia Kempthorne as the key note speaker, dinner, meeting the mothers and children the City Lights have helped and many touching moments through the evening. I was impressed with how many women have actually completed the program and moved on from the Mission, to raise their families in a healthy, happy home now! The City Lights program helps those who need the help and are willing to consider changing their lives that will enable them to grow to be amazing mothers and give back to the community. What an amazing evening!!!
