Mary Katherine resides in Benton, Arkansas with her husband, TJ. She is a small business owner and music teacher who loves to bake and travel anytime she can. She has a passion for helping others and using her interests and talents in her community and around the world to serve others.
"My whole life I’ve had a desire to help others, but my specific passion for foster children and families really ignited about five years ago in Quito, Ecuador. Through my time serving with Happiness Foundation Ecuador, I’ve come to realize that for Christians, such as myself, caring for vulnerable children isn’t an option - it’s a command from God (James 1:27).
After returning from my fifth trip to the Foundation in the summer of 2019, I began to look for more opportunities to serve foster families and children in my community. My cousin, who has been a foster parent and adopted four of her foster kids, introduced me to the National Angels organization. She was involved with her local chapter in Texas and helped me find the chapter here in central Arkansas. I immediately knew I wanted to get involved however I could.
I am beyond thankful for the Angels program. The work of caring for children in their most vulnerable state is important and should never be taken lightly or seen an option. I’m inspired by the mission of the Angels and so thankful to get to be a very small part of their impact on this nation’s foster community.”
