one woman who witnessed the suffering of a loved one as a child. Being a child herself, she was helpless to run to the defense of her friend, but she never forgot the struggles her friend endure, or the helplessness she felt in being too young to have a voice. She vowed to herself, one day, she would make a difference in any child&#8217;s life who was suffering.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>Save Them All, Inc. was founded on that promise to herself as a child&#8230; That woman&#8217;s name is Carrie Simon. Welcome to her dream and her passion.

Her passion has only grown stronger through the years. With the release of her first book, Save Them ALL, in 2014, she realized her writings could grant her another portal to reach the public and raise awareness to serious issues plaguing our children and youth. The latter part of 2016, Carrie decided to move forward creating an online presence, despite her desire for privacy.\u00a0 She had a website for her career as an author designed along with several social media accounts opened. In 2018. Save Them ALL Inc. received its recognition as a non-profit organization. Although all profits for Carrie&#8217;s novels have always been allocated to her charity, Save Them ALL, Inc. is a stand alone non-profit. (You may view her author site by clicking her picture below.)\u00a0\u00a0<br \/><br \/>Through the years Carrie has made countless appearances in churches, schools, book signings, and events, speaking to children and youth to guide them on the right path. She has mentored hundreds of lost youth over the years, several of whom chose life instead suicide through her mentoring programs.\u00a0 Some of these young overcomers have joined her cause, speaking openly about their battle and their victories, and how one woman believing\u00a0in them has changed their life forever. Meeting an incredible amount of our youth who were contemplating suicide is what prompted her journey for her third novel, Maker of Difference.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>With the help of local law enforcement, Carrie has also organized public events like fingerprinting to ensure all parents have quick access to their children&#8217;s file in case of abduction or other tragedies. Her personal author page and her Save Them ALL page on Facebook help spread the word when Amber Alerts are given. Her pages are not limited to Acadiana children and neither is her speaking.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>\u200bFollow Save Them ALL On Facebook and other social media.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Primary Hero Heading for Impact small subheading Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
