Desiree Gunnell
I’m deeply passionate about all aspects of foster care. Over the past 27 years as a foster parent, I’ve found the greatest fulfillment in supporting biological parents through reunification, collaborating with DCFS, mentoring other foster families, and finding meaningful ways to serve the foster care community.
Outside of foster care, I’m happiest when I’m stretched out in the sun on a beach—lost in a good book or snorkeling in the water.
