What we aim to solve
As I started to see a trend of hate towards Law Enforcement Officers, I created a goal in 2013 to start a trend of appreciating those who serve and protect. Everyday they put their lives on the line to help others in need. As I watched my husband serve & protect the people of California, I decided to start with his department since they are the people I knew. It just so happened that the following year was the 85th Anniversary of the California Highway Patrol. I knew that was a great place to start. The original goal still remained to appreciate all agencies. Having a small budget, I designed & created 11,000 Commemorative Pins for all those who serve in the Department. The ultimate goal is to appreciate everyone who serves & protects.
The goal of CHP Appreciation Day, is to continue to show the men and women who serve & protect, that they are appreciated, as it coincides with the Anniversary.

Christmas Miracles
Christmas Miracles started in Christmas 2008. One year after a dear friend lost her husband while trying to save 2 kids in Wrightwood on Christmas Day, 2007. I knew, after losing my Mom, in 2007, the first Christmas would be tough. So, I worked to gather donations. With the money we collected, my girls and I purchased lots of toys to give to the 4 Claridad girls. A few days before Christmas, we took Grandma, Mom & the 4 girls to Mimi's Cafe, where we ate dinner & then had Santa come and pass out gifts to everyone. It was a special moment for all of us. ❤️
Christmas Miracles continues, every year, blessing more families with "gifts of love."
