Introductions

Hi! I am Toni Sheets from Mount Sidney, Virginia.  I got involved with the Mercy Care Centre through my friend Bethany Butcher when she worked in Augusta County.  I have come to know and adore her entire family. It amazes me the things that can be accomplished when a need is known how people open up their hearts, shoe closets and even wallets to help another human in need.  I hope that this trip will allow me to open my heart to the human race and God's children.  It is these those little beings that are going to give me a completely new outlook on the world and life and why we are here on this Earth!  

My family has supported me in amazing ways.  My husband, David, my two sons, Gabe,7, and Grayson, 3, will be viewing the blogs and sending well wishes while the team is gone.  

About me....I work for Augusta County Schools as an assistive technology resource teacher. Before that, I worked as an instructional technology resource teacher for 7 years and started my career as a classroom teacher.  Hopefully my educational experience will help at the school.  I am also taking some tennis equipment donated from our local tennis pro and tennis association.  It will be fun to introduce a new sport to the students at Mercy Care Centre.  

I am looking forward to the trip and the experiences to be had!
