Provided health care for my Grandfather who was my world at age 14 this is when I knew caring for people was my gift because I loved it. I later cared for my adopted mother and father until their deaths for about seven years, my birth mother for three years, two aunts, one cousin plus going too school, managing three Ole Smokey Toppers Sports retail stores for seven years and raising a son by myself. During the first ten years of moving to Knoxville I took in thirty-two homeless young into my home at my own emotional and financial expense. Most importantly to give back to society and help mend the streets. These young adults were deemed as \\"throw away kids,\\" and some were mentally handicap, dropouts or teenage single mothers. I helped to give them a safe home environment with a second chance in life plus assisted them thru the legal system, college, health care system, and social services. I love caring for people. I have been blessed to meet and care for so many wonderful people and become lifelong friends with their families.
