Denise Royal teaches parent preparation classes for You Gotta Believe, a non profit program that seeks to prevent homelessness by finding permanent adoptive homes for teens and preteens in foster care. She adopted her daughter through You Gotta Believe and has recently become a grandmother. She teaches from her own experience.
This is fabulous….. I plan to attend a class!

Thank you for recognizing Denise’s work and wonderful caring attitude. What Denise probably did not share with you is that both her mother and father have passed away within the last 4 years and instead of feeling sorry for herself, she continued to honor their memory by pouring herself into her passion…..helping others. As her only aunt, I am so proud of Denise and her ability to positively affect all of those she comes into contact with daily. Her unselfish caring is evidenced by her love for Christina and Savannah.
We love you, Denise, and are so proud of you.
Aunt Dianne
