Tina Wheeler
Tina Wheeler is a quiet philanthropic powerhouse. She has a heart and passion for children and families in crisis both domestic and globally.

Tina has a powerful story. Abandoned as a child, abused, a divorcee, and after experiencing the tragic death of her 8-year old daughter, Kiara, in a car accident -- Tina has chosen to survive.

Those life-changing impediments have allowed Tina to create empowering stepping stones to help others. Finding the road to happiness and stability was inspired by her two beautiful children that survived the car accident. They now assist the staff and volunteers at KAD Foundation.

Board of Directors:
Tina Wheeler, Angela Jackson, Willie Hodges, Adrienne Jackson, Dawn Jemmerson, Dedra Carey, and Veronica Jackson.
