6) Any additional comment(s) you want to share?

I love what this foundation is all about! I love the strength, character and triumph the founder Felicia T. Simpson has within her and how she is blessed and is being a blessing to others. I love her new found ability to live life to the fullest but at the same time do God's work to help others who are less fortunate or who has been through what she has had to endure. I foresee this foundation expanding to a level beyond imagination and changing the lives of others in groups or one person at a time.

I am grateful to be a part of this movement and I will continue to volunteer my time, spread the word and be supportive of this organization.
