I've always enjoyed volunteering...
In college (round 1) my good friend Sarah and I volunteered at a local elementary school in Las Cruces, I used to visit nursing homes with friends, gave money every paycheck to United Way, I even got my hair cut in the middle of the mall once for a cancer charity event... it was enlightening.
Then, I met Jackie. She made my charity involvement seem insignificant... she is incredible.
But, lucky for me, she is always in need of some extra "lending hands."
So, I jumped at the chance to get involved in the non-profit scene here in Albuquerque.
I'm happy to say that thanks to her, I have gotten the chance to be involved with some great charities, do great things for people, and meet some great friends!
One thing that I did though- without the help or encouragement from Jackie -was volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters.
It is something I always wanted to do- but was always moving around the country.
Now that I am settled... I signed up and have the coolest "Little" ever.
Lucy is a ton of fun and we laugh all the time together.
I hope that I can make a difference in her life and inspire her-
just like she so often inspires me.
