MEEt the board

Meghan Pease - President

Meghan’s WHY - She knew very little about the foster care community until she was asked by her small group leader, Christine, to be one of the founding members of the Foster Well board. Since then, her heart has grown so much for the foster care community. She now lives just outside Baltimore, Maryland with her husband, Kenny, their daughter, Eleanor, and their puppy dog, Ovi.

Cristina Leach - Vice President

Christina’s WHY - With the dream of fostering someday, Cristina and her husband Dan, have volunteered in church and the community for over 20 years. This has provided them with many opportunities to see first hand the struggles and needs of families in the area. After having 2 birth children (Danielle, 15 & Stephanie, 12), they became foster parents in 2017. The Leach’s have since adopted their son, Ty age 4, from foster care and fostered 8 others. Foster Well has made it possible for them to share their love of fostering with the community at large. ​

Sarah Shepard - Treasurer & Director of Corporate Relations

Sarah’s WHY - Since Sarah and her husband, Nick, had their son (Will) in 2021, Sarah began to research foster care and the work she had seen Foster Well do through a mutual church connection at CityLight Vineyard Church. Being a parent changed her perspective on foster care completely. That same year, Nick’s Aunt and Uncle adopted an amazing young boy with special needs and a story that branded itself on many hearts. Seeing how their love, care, and prayers truly helped him heal in radical ways, Sarah discovered a passion for helping children stay in safe and loving homes. She hopes to use her relationships with businesses and the Delaware community to spread awareness and raise funding to support kids and families in the foster care system. ​
