Teaching a child to read Braille is the highest honor I have had as a teacher. Following these girls-to-women humbles me. And I hope it will inspire readers. This one will take a lllooonnnnggg time to complete. Stay with me.
I raised three children as a single mother before I remarried. I have experienced the potholes, pests, and perils of being the sole head of household. I was an educator in both regular and special education for twenty years. I am the founder of Single Moms EmpowerEd, a nonprofit organization that supports single mothers pursuing degrees that lead to employment. I’m also a Certified Professional Coach, and my stories have been published in several books and magazines. My book, Living, Learning, Loving, is available on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
“I am so blessed to have SMORE in my life! There are no words to express how much I appreciate the support from the women that are in my situation or have been. My emotional and spiritual wells are filled here. May God continue to abundantly bless the individuals that contribute to SMORE!” XO
