  • Holiday Spirit

    This month, I want to share some of the meaningful work I’ve been doing in the community. One of the most rewarding experiences has been teaming up with R.A.L.E.Y., a nonprofit organization dedicated to making a difference during the holiday season. Each year, we have the privilege of providing Christmas gifts to families in need, and we typically reach 60 or more families. It’s truly a blessing to be part of something that brings so much joy and hope to others.

    There’s something magical about seeing the smiles on the faces of those we help—knowing that, even in a small way, we’ve made their holiday season a little brighter. The opportunity to give back, especially during such a special time of year, fills me with gratitude and purpose.

    I’m excited for another year of partnering with R.A.L.E.Y., and I’m looking forward to spreading even more blessings this holiday season. It’s not just about the gifts; it’s about the connection, the love, and the spirit of giving that makes this time so special. Here’s to another season of making a difference, one family at a time.

  • Oaks at Snellville

    This month, I’m excited to share some of the meaningful work I’ve been doing in the community. My daughter and I recently volunteered at Oaks at Snellville, an assisted living facility in Snellville, GA. Last year, we brought some holiday cheer by dropping off gifts for Christmas. This year, we decided to take it a step further by volunteering our time to host a bingo event. It was a joy to see the residents light up as they played and won various prizes. Their smiles were priceless, and it was such a special experience to share with my daughter.

    Helping elderly people has always held a special place in my heart, especially since my mom and grandmother have passed away. Being able to connect with the residents at Oaks at Snellville felt like a way to honor their memories. I truly miss them dearly, and spending time with the elderly gives me a sense of closeness to them.

    I’m planning to do even more in the community, and I’m already thinking about creating Christmas cards for the residents this year. It’s these small gestures that bring so much warmth and connection, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in their lives. Sharing these moments with my daughter makes it all the more meaningful, and I look forward to continuing this journey of giving back.
