The day I became a family home provider was the beginning of a life filled with many new adventures; warm, fuzzy moments and life-altering memories. Enriching is the single word I would choose to use to summarize my life change from the day I opened my house and heart for an incredible loving young girl. She truly is “the wind beneath my wings”.
