Melanie was a wife, mother and grandmother (Nana) to a precious little girl, and a voracious reader who dreamed of one day becoming an author! She finally met that goal and had that dream come true with the publication of her children’s book Sassy Feet! It is loosely based on her granddaughter’s journey of being born with Club Feet! She has not let it stop her from doing the things she loves to do, plus she was the best medicine through Melanie’s Breast Cancer battle from 2009 – 2020!

Since the publication of her book, we have teamed up with an organization called Miracle Feet to bring awareness to the most common birth defect, Club Feet. It is a defect that can be cured through early treatments of surgeries, casts, and/or braces, but children born in poverty or in underdeveloped countries often can’t afford to have anything done and grow up with potentially severe problems with their feet. This organization can aid in the treatments for these children with donations of $250 per child that would completely take care of their defect!
