Testimonial
Kelly Ellison’s expertise in fundraising combined with her own experience as an adoptive parent makes her the perfect person to help us along the road of adoption financing.  We feel like we are working not just with someone who is very good at what she does, but someone who understands what we are going through as a family.
Before meeting with Kelly, we had a plan as to how we would finance our adoption, but felt a lot of stress about how it would all finally work out. For us, working with Kelly has given us not only tools to help with our adoption expenses, but also peace of mind. Working with Kelly has opened doors that we didn’t even know existed. We are grateful for her help and her heart.
