Meet our executive director, Vonee.
She is passionate about helping families.
And she’s ready to welcome you personally.
Vonee is a mom, too.
She’s an experienced advocate in the child welfare space. And on top of that, she’s a seasoned program director who still does in-person visits to parents at home.
Real-life parenting is not like in the fairy tales.
Vonee gets it.She knows that all parents want to be great parents. And that sometimes stuff happens. Life challenges can get in the way. So it’s not about you doing a good or a bad job. It’s about getting you the support and empowerment you need so you can give your child the best shot possible.
