Every Child Needs a Champion

Join me in supporting real change. Let’s support good in the world and make a difference in the lives of foster children. Help Friends of Alameda County CASA Inc recruit, train, and support dedicated volunteers to be the constant in a foster child's life.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal of building on my passion for yoga and accomplishing the Shirshasana pose for Friends of Alameda County CASA. I will also sweeten the deal for anyone who donates $100 or more, I will eat 1 kale salad in its entirety. For those who know me well, I am not a veggie lover and kale, being a superfood that it is, I'm not really a fan. But this is about helping foster kids and living healthier lives which I whole heartily support both!!!

Over the last several months life has been crazy with work, schedules and our 3 kiddos (all under 3 years). I haven't been as active as my body needs. Since I'm 18 weeks pregnancy and with all the goings on in life. I wanted to focus on an activity that can bring inner balance and focus back to myself. My yoga plan starts with a simple everyday morning yoga routine, a forearm stand focused workout 3 days a week and completing each night with a short relaxing/ meditative night time routine to help with sleep.

I've been involved with CASA for a long while now. I started as a CASA volunteer. Eventually I became to foster parent to my CASA, then later became her legal guardian. Now 23, she is married with a little baby girl, she credits her success in life from being connected to a supportive adult early in her teen years. Since then my husband and myself continued on as foster parents with Alameda County and I was able to re-join with CASA as a Board Member.
