Member Spotlight

Meet Lu Evelyn Tillman, CQL eCommunity Member

My passion is helping children in our communities. I also love to inspire others to develop beyond their situation and the things that have kept them bound in life. Everyone has an ability to learn, grow and develop, we sometimes need to be inspired. Through our desires dreams can come true. One step at a time. There are no walls or mountains too high that we cannot overcome, when we work together for the good of all mankind.
