About Vanessa

1) Because I decided to help those who can no longer help themselves, and or who needs assistance. Those whom I am sure once helped and raised others. 2) The pleasure of helping others and letting them know that life if worth living. The joy of giving from the heart, true compassion. 3) I am most proud of being who I am. A woman of raw emotions. My personal achievement. Being able to motivate others, giving hope to those who thought hope was none existence. 4) A wife, a mother, a grandmother of four beautiful grandchildren. A very passionate, caring, emotional, happy energetic person.
