Charity's husband Alessandro "Alex" is originally from Italy. Charity and Alex married in 2002. Charity has a "bonus" daughter and together, she and Alex have two sons, Luca a freshman at Chapman University and Logan a freshman at Temecula Valley High School, Charity's alumni high school.

Charity believes that by helping each other, we all can make a great difference in the world. Compassionate giving is what has inspired her throughout her life and through Charity for Charity and TVHS Football Boosters, she can bring her belief to life in a way which many can be directly involved to make a difference in the lives of others.

She is one busy lady who is driven by passion, a need to help others through changing one life at a time. She also maintains an active social life organizing parties and activities with her family and friends. Charity loves people and thrives on the relationships she creates!
There is never a dull moment in the life of Charity and although she has faced trouble and conflict, she keeps a glass half full attitude and finds the best in everything and everyone. She chooses joy every day!
