Welcome to Take Up Your Cross Inc.

Every young person deserves a clear path to a bright, independent future. At Take Up Your Cross Inc., I make sure foster youth transitioning out of the system at age 21 don’t have to navigate adulthood alone.


Rooted in love and community right here in Apple Valley, I bridge the gap between foster care and self-sufficiency by providing reliable life skills, volunteer mentorship, essential transportation, phone connectivity, and stable, affordable housing.


I’m here to turn uncertainty into opportunity—one young adult at a time.

"And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me."

Matthew 10:38
