I first began writing my book, Autumn Leaves, as a therapeutic practice and for posterity. As I neared the end, I quickly realized that I wanted to use this opportunity not only to tell my story but also to take action.
I have already donated the first round of my books net royalties since it launched on October 15th. However, with the holidays quickly approaching, I've decided to continue the donations.
Every penny from each copy sold now through December 31, 2025, will go to


Volunteers package and ship highly nutritious, life-saving meals to starving and malnourished children in developing countries and in disaster situations, as well as to children in the United States. My family and I have served with this organization multiple times, and it always feels good knowing that we made a difference.
My goal in the next 2 months is to raise a minimum of $500. That will provide 2,500 meals to children and families!!!
If you've already purchased a copy of Autumn Leaves, thank you SO much—you've already made a contribution to the cause! If you're still considering buying the book, please know that your purchase will contribute to nourishing a life.
Together, we can reach this goal and provide 2,500 meals for children. Purchase a book, nourish a life. Thank you so much for your support!
