I am the CEO & Founder of DREAMCATCHERS FOR ABUSED CHILDREN which is an official non-profit 501(c)3 child abuse & neglect organization. Our mission is to educate the public on child abuse symptoms, intervention, prevention, statistics, reporting, and helping victims locate the proper resources necessary to achieve a full recovery. ( www.dreamcatchersforabusedchildren.com )
I founded my organization in 2007 after the man who molested my daughter was released from prison ~ I needed a positive avenue to vent my anger & try to prevent other families from having to go through the same anguish that my family endured. I was shocked to learn how many parents did not know the child abuse statistics, signs or symptoms or how to check the National Sex Offender Registry. I have made it my mission to try to educate the public on this increasing epidemic plaguing our nation.
I am also a writer, editor & co-author with best-selling Barnes & Noble Author, Donna M. Kshir. We have published five books together and are currently working on continuing our series.( http://stores.lulu.com/kshiran
