That line doesn’t come from a podium. It comes from a mom who’s loved, lost, & chosen to love again.

At 18, Susanna placed a child for adoption, a wound so deep it could have ended her story.

Instead, it fueled her purpose—to shoulder the ache of kids in broken systems & fight to change their stories.

Years later, she & her husband fostered a little boy, loved him for nine months—then watched him leave. The heartbreak dimmed her fire, & she swore she’d never do it again.

But conviction has a way of roaring back.

And when it did, Susanna swung the door wide open.

From babysitting “just for a weekend” to launching Least of These Carolinas, she kept saying yes. Yes to heartbreak. Yes to risk. Yes to kids who need more than a trash bag to carry their lives in.

She hasn’t just built a nonprofit. She’s built a movement—by refusing to stay quiet when the system says no, & by relentlessly saying yes to kids who just need a champion.

Susanna proves what Albert Schweitzer said:

“Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even the smallest act of caring has the potential to turn a life around.”
