From a life of poverty and abuse to the glamor and celebrity of the Las Vegas Strip, Linda Smith has lived quite a life. But when her son was born with special needs, that’s when her true passion and calling kicked in and Linda made an enormous impact, raising hundreds of millions of dollars to help those in need.
Linda taught herself to dance. She found the courage to find her voice. She overcame a harrowing 17-year journey of setbacks and politics to win a victory for what was right for her son, Christopher. And, she wrote Unwanted: How a Mother Learned to Turn Shame, Grief, and Fear into Purpose, Passion, and Empowerment. Now, nothing can stop her from raising others up. Hear about a life trajectory that led to the Christopher Smith Foundation and a legacy of love and support that will last for generations.
