Laura Francescutti “I happened to stumble upon Save A Mother and instantly wondered, “How can I make a difference?”  When I saw that they took volunteers of any kind I figured I could somehow use my art to make that difference.  I am proud to be involved with this organization and look forward to working with them.  Knowing that I can help people from across the world is a wonderful feeling.“ 

I work as a tour guide in Seattle, Washington, saving up my money to go back to college in a year or two.  I would like to get my Bachelor’s in Linguistics and eventually join the Peace Corps.  On the side I do graphic design, illustration and various other art projects to keep me inspired.
