It’s always a joy seeing Ps Sylver when I make my way to Kacungwa to see my boys.

A couple weeks before I left Texas, I had the honor of photographing my dear friend (and coworker) Kim’s family at their home! What a blessing it was getting to meet her and getting to know her family while living in Texas!

Well hello friends! Melrae has been quiet for quite some time and I am ready to make some noise. The last two years have been filled with big life changes and experiences. It’s been a wonderful time for self reflection, healing, and evaluating my passions and dreams in life. Now, as I’m finding a new normal in a new place it’s the perfect time to invest in my business; to brainstorm, plan creatively, rebrand and figure out how I want Melrae to look as it better reflects who I am and what I’m most passionate about. I’m excited for this year and where this time will take me and the new Melrae.

Giving Tuesday, the biggest giving movement in the world is tomorrow and why stop there, giving on just one day or one season? What if through your giving you could impact one life? Change one more child’s future? I’ve personally seen how sponsoring children gives hope, changes how they look at life, their education, and their future.

This year, I encourage you to consider sponsoring a child through Africa Renewal Ministries (if you already are, go ahead and sponsor one more child)! Make a difference in one more child’s life, help one more child see their dreams become a reality.
If you have any questions or want to change a life today, message me or check out Africa Renewal Ministries’ website {https://africarenewal.org/one-more-child-campaign/}.

I’m excited to announce if you sponsor any children through Africa Renewal Ministries you’ll be seeing this photo on this years Christmas card!
What a blessing it’s been working alongside my friends at ARM these last few years. It’s a connection and part of my life that truly excites me and inspires me. I know it’s still just the beginning of my journey with ARM!
