My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a mother of three, a gramma, wife, friend, special education teacher and part time professor. Spero fills my heart. It creates friendships and memories that make life meaningful. Community volunteerism is giving back and supporting when I can, especially for those who can't. I spent the first 14 years of my life growing up in Sierra Madre, then in Atlanta, and back to Sierra Madre with my children to a safe and caring community. I got involved with Relay For Life on an invitation from a special friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000. Her desire to fight and not let it take her down, the diagnosis of another friend, a SPERO original, and my mom's cancer diagnosis, made me join her in her battle. My friend lost her battle but thankfully others survived. The bravery and the fight that these women exhibited makes me want to work harder to let others know that HOPE is here to support them, be it financially, or through personal support. With 4 other friends sharing the same goals, we founded THE SPERO FOUNDATION
