" I am privileged to be a van driver, shuttling families from their nightly accommodations to the Family Promise day center. I live in Moscow with my amazing husband, Gary and our three cat overlords. Family Promise is an amazing program that helps families who are struggling to get a leg up in this world despite all of the obstacles thrown at them. I'm absolutely thrilled to be given an opportunity to be of help to my fellow humans. This is a worthwhile organization that deserves as much support as our community of Good Samaritans can muster."
