Susan Rusler

Foster Care Aide & Transporter

I do not have any children of my own. Being a transporter gives me the opportunity to connect with children and show love and care for kids from hard places. I love the fact that I can pray over them and speak God's love over them as I drive. Being a transporter gives me the opportunity to build connections with the children so they can feel safe and loved. Working at Encourage is truly a blessing. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband of 14 years and my pets: 2 dogs, 1 cat and a turtle.
