Her platform is to help raise awareness for resources and services to families, caretakers, siblings of those with special needs. Working alongside the Victoria’s Voice foundation, the official charity of the Mrs. American organization, Ford will also be an advocate for raising awareness of the opioid epidemic that is destroying generations on a massive scale.
