HI THERE FROM ZELDA
As a mother caring for foster and at-risk children, I've dedicated myself to their well-being after a period of job loss. While older kids attend daycare, I focus on nurturing infants. Without state aid, I raise funds through selling second-hand baby clothes and inspirational apparel, as well as making and selling soaps under "Grace 2 Grace." I also assist struggling mothers through donations.My goal is to expand fundraising efforts to support foster children's education and basic needs. I advocate for every child's right to love and care. I aim to establish a permanent home and a program for mothers considering abortion, guiding them towards nurturing options for their babies.
