Making a Difference

I'm originally from the Washington D.C. metro area.  I relocated to Central Florida in 2013 after accepting a job opportunity.  I was in dire need of a lifestyle change and timing was perfect.  My son had just left to embark on his first year of college life in Pennsylvania.

I was born to Barbara C. (16 yo) and Allen W. (17 yo) on Dec. 29, 1971. Both parents shared a life of drug addiction (separately) and both parents died at a very young age. Mom died from Metastatic Stomach Cancer as a result of Breast Cancer (43 yo) and Allen died from a Drug Overdose (38 yo).   

  At 14 I was sent to live with my grandmother Emma B. Life with grandma was not always a walk in the park. In fact, its where I endured my worst child/teenage trauma.

Fast forward to these days I'm proud to say I've survived molestation, single parenting, suicide, depression, gunshots, physical, verbal, and mental abuse.  I consider myself to be a strong tower.  I'm a tower that's relatable to so many individuals.   

I created Hearts of Mercy, Inc. (H.O.M.) in 2018.  It was brought to fruition after 18 years of GOD putting this assignment on my heart. Although his message was very clear, I was too, afraid, and embarrassed to divulge those pieces of me until then.  H.O.M. is an IRS recognized 501 c3.  Each ribbon in the H.O.M. logo represents a challenge that I've faced directly or indirectly through my lifetime.   

Welcome H.O.M. & God Bless!
