Summary
My name is Patricia Verdeyen. I have worked around children and families a majority of my life. When I worked in daycare foster kids had a big pull at my heart then. I knew at that point I always wanted to volunteer at some point. This past year is when I became involved in The Restore Network and with CASA. It has became a big part of my life.
