What a beautiful evening in Boulder! The Flagstaff House Restaurant (boasted as one of the best restaurants in Colorado) was host to the 2nd Annual Promise For A Future Benefit; a benefit for youth living at Attention Homes. It was an honor for me to Emcee the benefit and meet the Board of Directors, as well as Guest Speaker and CU Athletic Director, Mike Bohn. But the time that my husband Scott and I will cherish most is the time that we spent talking with Ladonna Garcia, a former youth resident at Attention Homes and her husband Andre. Her story is inspiration to us all; despite the hardships of once living on the street, with the support of organizations like Attention Homes, she was given a safe place to call home--a place to live out her dreams. She's now a case worker for the City of Denver, a volunteer at Attention Homes and is looking to pursue her Masters degree in the near future.
