Because of the generosity of the American people, she was able to Immigrate to the United States and start life all over again at age 19.
After completing her nursing education and training, she worked non-stop for two years and purchased her first home in Texas with the goal of fostering medically dependent children. This was her way of giving back to the country that had believed in her. In 2013, she started fostering children with complex medical needs, and adopted two medically dependent children as her own. She tells their story in her new book.
Linda is convinced that a managed health care system that has failed millions of vulnerable citizens over the years can be reformed, and the humanitarian crisis she has personally witnessed can be overcome. Our children deserve better and citizens deserve prompt health care coverage. Health care is our right and we're all entitled to it.
She is a founder of Texans Lil Fragile Voices, a nonprofit with a global mission to relieve the plight of impoverished children, mandate health care for all, provide tools to end poverty, enhance the laws that govern the foster care system and provide adequate and timely health care for medically dependent children around the world.
