Hi, my name is Amber! I've lived in Tulsa for the last 5 years, and I have 4 rescue cats. I've spent most of my adult life working in warehouses, but most recently I've worked in security. My hobbies include reading, gaming, swimming, and spending time with my family when I can.
I understand what it's like to grow up being shuffled around and moved between family members. My goal here is to help offer a safe place for children to continue fostering relationships with their parents in a judgement-free area when they may otherwise be unable to do so.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!
