Hi and thank you for taking the time to read my story. Helping people has always been my passion. I have spent my career in compassionate care for others in a multitude of ways. Whether that's been direct care by being a companion and caregiver for the disabled, tending to the elderly in hospice, or building programs to help women get out of poverty. Caring for others is what I do.

As I've been walking more with God and growing in lay-ministry, I have felt a tug to do more. Two years ago, I felt the call to use my social services skills in a way that cares for people's souls. I have been pursuing my master's degree in pastoral care and counseling (and I will be done in October!!). My goal is to go back into the direct care of others, but this time as a hospice chaplain.

This is where I need your help! The last step before I can work in chaplaincy as a vocation is something called Clinical Pastoral Education. This is similar to rotations and hands-on training that nurses and other medical professionals receive. I have an open opportunity to do this! I need some sponsors!

Currently, my obstacles are:

If this is something on your heart that you feel you can help me with, any and all of the above, know you are sowing into good ground.
