Dawn has a heart of gold and a rare gift of discernment—an ability to see needs clearly, respond wisely, and care deeply. Her compassion is matched only by her courage, and she has long been a formidable advocate for vulnerable children within her local community.

Dawn has gone above and beyond in supporting migrant children and their families. She has walked beside them as they navigated a new cultural landscape, helping them secure nutrition, medical care, safe shelter, clothing, and stability during the most uncertain chapters of their lives. Many children would not have had their basic needs met if not for Dawn’s unwavering dedication.

She does not shy away from difficult situations. She steps into them—willing to do whatever is necessary for mission accomplishment. Her judgment is second to none; she insightfully considers details and perspectives that others might overlook, integrating practical wisdom with profound compassion. She builds relationships of trust everywhere she goes, creating a steady foundation that allows families to feel safe, seen, and supported during their most vulnerable moments.

Within JJME, Dawn brings the same steadfast love, clarity, and courage. She elevates every conversation, every decision, and every mission effort with her insight, her heart, and her quiet but powerful leadership. Her presence is a reminder that God equips His people not only with skill, but with discernment, tenderness, and a deep desire to serve those who need it most.
