Thanks for taking time to read my story. I hope that you find this information inspiring & motivating. I want to share some personal things with you to give somewhat of an idea of who I am and where I come from. Was born July 19, 1983 in Hutchinson, Kansas.

We moved to a small town called Pratt, Kansas. Then moved to Wichita, Kansas. We lived in Hutchinson at my grandfather's house on 205 Cochise Trail. He owned a construction and oil field company and found the places for rigs to drill. He only had an 8th grade education. Charlie Wright went blind and lost his business. The lawyer he hired took advantage of him which resulted in us moving to Pratt.

Was just my brother and I. We were living fairly decent with our mom. She had a job, vehicle, and she took good care of us in those days. I remember having a lot of fun in the summers, and awesome times at Christmas, and birthdays. We had everything kids could want. Nintendo, Sega, and other video games.

My mother got mixed in with the wrong crowd of people and started using drugs and making bad decisions. We moved to Wichita everything was going well for about 6 months. We noticed our mom was not coming home. My mom got strung out on dope. My mother's boyfriend tried to kill her one night. He would take my mom into park bathrooms and beat her. On the night he was going to kill her she jumped out of the vehicle and luckily there was someone there to help her or she might not be alive today. My mother went to rehab and my brother and I went back to Pratt to live with our grandmother. My mother got out of rehab demanding us to Wichita with her. It happened again landing me in SRS custody.

From the time I was 11 years old to 13 I went from group home to group home all over the state of Kansas. I lived at a foster home in Tescott. I lived with the Elder family from 13 to 18 years old. Living with them was a life changing experience for me. I found faith and acquired the skills that I apply today.

My life forever changed and soul impacted. Thomas and Mary Elder introduced Apostles Doctrine and the home based business industry. Thomas passed away June 6, 2014.

In loving memory of Thomas Elder 1950 - 2014

Mary Elder is the remaining of my two foster parents!
