I’ve made a personal commitment this year to be more charitable, so instead of holiday gifts, I’m asking for donations to support those with far less than we have.

Philadelphia means so much to me; it’s where I met Josh five years ago, and we’ve built our beautiful family since. Through my work in city advocacy, I’ve seen how many essential youth programs are underfunded. It’s heartbreaking, and we need better priorities for our tax dollars.

Here's the scoop: I’m running for B Inspired Philadelphia, a non-profit dedicated to supporting under-resourced middle schoolers in North and West Philly. They identify students' needs and create impactful after-school programs. To address food insecurity, they also provide healthy snacks and summer camp lunches.

Any amount—$5, $20, $50, $100—helps. Every dollar makes a difference, and your support will keep me going when the race gets tough!
