✨ Meet Our Team ✨

This week, we’re excited to introduce Sue Wilson, one of our Chafee Specialists at I Pour Life serving Southeast Missouri.

Sue is known for her outgoing personality, can-do attitude, and unwavering commitment to the youth she serves. With years of experience working alongside foster youth, she brings both expertise and compassion to every interaction, meeting challenges with optimism and a willingness to help young people discover what's possible for their future.

When asked why she works at I Pour Life, Sue shared:
"After working with foster youth most of my social work career and having previously worked with both the Chafee and TLSS Programs, I knew I wanted to continue to work for this population. I Pour Life's mission aligns with my own beliefs of equipping foster youth with essential life skills to navigate adulthood with confidence and the independence to break the cycle of instability by providing practical tools to build secure, self-sufficient futures. I feel like I'm here to steady others during life's turning points and to quietly build pathways they didn't know were possible."

We're grateful for the experience, encouragement, and heart Sue brings to our team and the youth we serve every day. Her passion for helping young people navigate life's turning points continues to make a lasting impact throughout Southeast Missouri.

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Bekka 🌟

At I Pour Life, we are continually inspired by team members who go above and beyond for the youth we serve, and Bekka is a shining example of that dedication.

Recently, we received recognition highlighting Bekka’s exceptional commitment to ensuring a youth received a timely referral to a Transitional Living Scattered Site program. When a previously discussed plan had not been completed, Bekka took initiative by reaching out to the youth, placement providers, and Children’s Division to ensure the referral moved forward.

Her persistence, advocacy, and genuine care for this young person's future may have a life-changing impact. It’s this kind of proactive support that helps create real opportunities and brighter futures for the youth we serve.

Bekka, thank you for your compassion, follow-through, and unwavering commitment to our mission. Your work makes a difference every single day, and we are so grateful to have you on our team! 👏💙
