DEBRA ALLEN
Debra Allen is the founder and administrator for Ella's Closet. When a friend whom she had met in the medical field during her time as a pediatric nurse lost her grand baby, Ella Pearl, in May 2015 she felt a calling to do something special for the family. Moved with a vision to allow the legacy of such a precious baby to continue to shine throughout the world, while also helping to provide the families of young children with life-saving skills such as CPR, educational workshops, mentoring, and basic provisions for their infants and children, Ella's Closet opened its doors in 2015 as a ministry of the Light House Cafe.
