A lot of people come to me asking for my help, although I can’t help everyone I try to enlist my Texas Twins Events Team when a cause is dear to my heart. I care about their story and I care about their journey.


When I’m frequently asked why I go to such great lengths to help strangers, my answers are that I am the person I’ve never met and, I’ve been poor myself so I understand the struggle.
When families have no money or anything of value to provide in exchange for services, my Texas Twins Treasures storefront funds them by selling my refurbished inventory, Pawning Planners Apparel or personal items to fund them. Why? Don’t ask me why ask yourself why not! Hundreds of families have come to me for help and hundreds of families have benefitted because I understood that no one else would help them and created unique and diverse businesses to help these struggling consumers myself.
When my dear friend, Glenda Patterson passed away in Colorado last year, her daughter Tara contacted me frightened of how she could ever find the funding to return Glenda to Texas and also cover the funeral and flowers. I suggested a GoFundMe account and handcrafted the funeral flowers myself while acting as a funeral clergy to oversee the memorial Funeral For a Friend- Wendy Wortham. While I was shocked and deeply saddened by a sudden death- I reacted swiftly and quickly by sharing her GoFundMe page to my huge social network. My friends, twins and connections exceeded the requested amount because, like me, they understood the issues facing low to middle income families.

Recently I was nominated for Women of Distinction Magazine for my “unique and creative contribution to the wedding and events industry.” The editor asked why anyone would go to such great lengths to help strangers and I advised her that giving these families the wedding that I never had was important to me because I realized how special an event with family and friends was while recognizing that the majority of families could never afford the “average cost” of a wedding at $5-20k. In fact many of our families have less than $500 and twenty percent no money at all. Being creative to find ways around the limits of finance relied heavily on my unique ability to go over, around or through such barriers which is why I’m often called the Wedding Warrior!
Cindy and I know Debbie and Hannah because they live in Weatherford where my twin also resides and the Little Pawners, Maryssa and Makenna attend school.


GoFundMe isn’t for folks who want money for a beach vacation or new car- it is for families who have a genuine need.
While I can’t help everyone who comes to me, I can give them insight on finding help and fundraising.
Changing the wedding and events industry one family at a time hasn’t been easy or inexpensive for me but what it has been is a labor of love and a journey with my multigenerational family of finding new friends and giving them a gift that keeps giving from Fort Worth, Texas!

Volunteering your time and your talent can give hope to many while inspiring your family to volunteer. My legacy will be one of jumping in and doing whatever I can to help those who have no one else because I am the person that I’ve never met as is my twin sister, Cindy Daniel who may be saucy and sarcastic but is as filled with compassion as I am. We are a TwinTeam…
