Meet our Team
Making A Kid Smile was born from seeing the placement process these brave children go through first-hand by our Founder, Morgan Choucalas-Bradley.

Founder | President
Morgan Choucalas Bradley
Our founder and President Morgan Bradley's first foster child (initials MAK) inspired her to reach out to help kids in care. Morgan is married to her high school sweetheart, Dave, together they have five kids: Kenedi, Jaxson, Elyn, Michael, and Cora. They currently have one foster placement, Cora’s youngest sister. Morgan and Dave have fostered locally for over ten years and have adopted two of their former placements. They are still connected with their first foster placement and they consider each other family. Morgan is excited to continue to grow MAKS to serve Indiana.

Vice President

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.

Secretary
Erin Venice-Fortner
Erin has dedicated much of her life to advocating for children in need. She served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for nearly four years and is now entering her sixth year as a foster parent. As an adoptee herself, Erin brings a unique perspective to the foster and adoptive community. Married to her husband, Wendell, for over 20-years she is a proud mom to two adult children, JL and Charlotte. Her passion lies in serving Indiana's most vulnerable children and she believes that every child deserves safety, love, and belonging. She currently runs our 24/7 storefront and in the main POC for volunteers. With MAKS, Erin hopes to continue growing her impact, as foster care and adoption are more than just roles for her - they are what truly light her soul on fire.
