Jul 2014

In my late teens/early twenties I was involved in several organizations. Donating time, money and a helluva lot of emotion. All that while being a single mom. I became so frustrated because I didn't seen anything happening. Money was God and I (thought) I couldn't fight it.

Every vote, every dime, every minute counts. A baby step is still a step and a string of them will get us to our destination.

Take a break if you need it, but never give up.
