Charlotte grew up around Wisner, LA and graduated from Northeastern Louisiana University with a bachelor’s in social work.

A special thanks to Denesha Harvey from Bridgeway Hospice for taking extraordinary care of her. The family would also like to thank the family of Charles Jones, who chose to be our hero by donating his liver to her 18 years ago. Those last 18 years were precious and would not have been possible without him.
