First moving to Athens, AL on my own in October of 2012, I did not know this beautiful place would become my inherited hometown. Twelve years later and my two girls are being raised here. I first became aware of Mission Athens in 2016, after joining a local church which took a special donation each week specifically for the organization. Twelve years later and now deeply woven into this community, I have seen and heard of some of the needs of my neighbors. Feeling driven to become more personally involved, I was given the opportunity to serve as secretary in 2023. I'm very grateful to serve in this capacity and it is my earnest prayer that Christ will use me as a tool in this effort, showing love, support, and growth to their spiritual and physical needs.
