Could you share your connection to Empty Arms and how you first discovered this organization?

I FIRST HEARD OR EMPTY ARMS BACK IN 2006 AFTER MY STILLBIRTH. BACK THEN EMPTY ARMS HELD A FEW MEETINGS A MONTH WHERE YOU COULD JOIN AND SHARE WITH OTHER PARENTS YOUR GRIEF/ STORY. THAT'S WHEN I MET CAROL AND EMPTY ARMS WAS JUST BEGINNING.



What motivates you to stay involved?

THE FACT THAT I HAD SO LITTLE SUPPORT DURING MY LOSS AND WANTING TO GIVE THAT TO OTHERS BECAUSE I COULD RELATE MORE THEN MANY WITH THEIR PAIN AND SUFFERING. ALSO IN MEMORY OF MY DAUGHTER, GIVING BACK IN HER MEMORY.



What do you do for a living?

I CURRENTLY WORK FOR CATHOLIC CHARITIES AS A CASE WORKER HELPING TO HOUSE THE HOMELESS.

How do you spend your personal time and what do you like to do for fun?

I'M A MOM....I DON'T HAVE MUCH PERSONAL TIME LOL... IF I DO HAVE A MOMENT TO MYSELF... I ENJOY QUIET TIME OR MAYBE CATCH UP ON A MOVIE.
I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY CHILDREN, HANGING AROUND THE HOUSE DANCING, TRAVELING, OR DOING ACTIVITIES OUTDOORS.
