My family of eight, we love to do acts of kindness. We have a little shop called Intentional Living, obviously, right here. Back in 2024, we found out that I was pregnant. That's our last baby.

Um her name's Rosie. And um I became deathly ill. So, my husband What? He pretty much took care of me and the kids and traveled with them for a year.

Later on in the pregnancy, we found out that Rosie had some very complicated heart problems. I think God will heal her. He's healed her this far. Honestly, I shouldn't be here.

Um I had three times in my life where I almost died. And the last one was when I was delivering Rosie. I pleaded to God. Why do you think he kept you here?

Because I know my purpose is to serve others. My family and I have literally given everything that we possibly We live a lot of our life at Children's. Just a lot of doctor's appointments. The really amazing part of all of it is that when we get to go to Children's or we go other places, we bring these little bags which are kindness bags and we pass them out to other people and sometimes they're filled with gift cards or money, um stuffy animals, toys.

How's it been then? Well, one, it's been slow. There's been a ton of construction downtown. Um but two, we had our AC go out and we lost a lot of product.

you able to support a family of eight with just this business? Pretty hard. If things are tight for your own family, why do you continue to give to other people? Because I lived a lot of my life feeling alone.

And God told me that if I did this, that he would take care of us. And I just I'm just following what he wants and his plan. Are you feeling okay? Yeah.
