AMBASSADOR

DONNA ST.CLAIR was born and raised in Roanoke, VA. She & her sister were raised by their maternal grandmother & her sister after the passing of their mother at a very young age.

Although she doesn't have any biological children of her own, she has had the opportunity to be a mother figure to many. She believes that motherhood extends beyond biology; it is expressed through the love she gives.

She is a retired law enforcement professional whose 30 years of dedicated service with the Roanoke City Sheriff's Office reflect her deep commitment to serving others. She has learned the importance of compassion, treating every person with dignity, kindness, and respect.

She is also a survivor of domestic violence. Through her personal journey, she has faced challenges that have taught her profound lessons about strength, perseverance, healing, and faith.

Her heart's desire is to bring comfort to the hurting, encouragement to the weary, hope to the discouraged, and love to those who need it most. She believes one of her greatest gifts is the gift of a hug which helps remind others they are loved, valued, and never alone. She is a woman of faith, a survivor by God's grace, a servant at heart, and a mother to many through love.

Donna's favorite scripture is Romans 12:2

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
