Our Team

Morgan Bradley
President, Founder & Board Member
Where did MAKS come from? Making A Kid Smile was born from seeing the placement process these brave children go through first-hand. Our founder and President Morgan Bradley's first foster child (initials MAK) inspired her to reach out to help kids in care. Morgan has fostered locally for over 5 years and was able to adopt one of her placements. Being both a wife and a mother of 5 kids is a challenge, but her heart keeps growing to help more fosters in need.
Elizabeth Mirr Wysocki
Vice President, Treasurer & Board Member
Our Vice President Elizabeth Wysocki met Morgan a few years ago and has helped scale MAKS into the 501c3 it is today. She is very passionate about helping kids in care and is looking forward to expanding MAKS across the state of Indiana and eventually the country. Elizabeth is a wife and a mother of two boys who has worked in both the Business and Education arenas.


Kaitlyn Sarmento
Secretary & Board Member
Kaitlyn joined MAKS when we moved into our current facility. She has been a foster parent for three years and first learned about MAKS when they provided clothing for one of her early placements. Kaitlyn is excited to help MAKS as it moves into its next phase. She is a civil engineer and lead estimator at a construction company in Chicago.
