As some of you know, I'm the oldest of three children born to alcoholic parents.
I can remember vividly one Christmas when my father was inpatient for alcohol rehab at the local VA hospital. My mother, who was a stay-at-home mom, had broken her ankle and was in a cast. She was literally crawling through the house to take care of us. I guess that way was quicker for a woman with three young children. I was about eight, making my younger brothers four and two years old. Christmas was days away and we barely had money for food. We were fortunate to have neighbors who helped us.
So many women have far more significant challenges than we did. I am grateful that I am in a place to help other women who may need a hand during a crisis.
I support Uplift because I know the uncertainty that women with children can face when things are challenging. I support Uplift because I'm a woman committed to empowering other women. I support Uplift because I am now in a place where I can support.
