Kelly founded The Sparrow Fund along with her husband Mark in 2011. She spearheads the Sparrow Counseling (http://sparrow-fund.org/sparrow-counseling) program for foster and adoptive children and their families along with Louie, a service-trained golden retriever. Kelly has a particular interest in (a) partnering with parents to help children understand their stories in healing ways; (b) encouraging, equipping, and empowering parents to experience healing relationship as they navigate the effects of trauma; and (c) helping caregivers and teachers of vulnerable children best experience the power of relationship. Kelly and Mark have been married since 1998 and have 3 biological children and 1 daughter who was adopted as a toddler from China in 2010.

The Sparrow Fund cares for caregivers, supporting families in foster care and adoption as well as those who care for vulnerable children. We give grants for families to receive individualized support as they build their family via adoption. We provide specialized counseling services. We offer training and connecting opportunities that encourage, equip, and empower caregivers. We seek to serve in orphanages and educational settings to care for caregivers who stand in the gap for vulnerable children
