With every step, I run toward the goal of honoring God by dedicating myself to the well-being of others. I am committed to providing compassionate support and practical assistance to the poor, the homeless, veterans, refugees, and the oppressed. Through acts of kindness, advocacy, and service, I strive to uplift those in need and promote justice and dignity for all. Guided by my faith, I believe in the inherent worth of every individual, and I aim to embody God’s love, empathy, and unwavering dedication in all my endeavors, so that He may receive all the glory.
