Kathy tiene un espíritu generoso y se esfuerza por tener un efecto positivo en quienes la rodean. "Sólo quiero dejar una huella de corazón en el mundo. Quiero ser mejor persona hoy que ayer. Me quedo corta a menudo, pero me encanta desafiarme a mí misma para hacerlo mejor."
“Me siento muy orgulloso de los padres con los que trabajo por hacer un gran esfuerzo por darle a sus hijos el amor y apoyo que se merecen. Estoy muy feliz de tener la oportunidad de ser parte de un sistema de apoyo positivo para las familias de nuestra comunidad.”
Lorien se unió a Relief Nursery porque tenía un interés en formar parte del campo de recuperación de adicciones. Ella tiene experiencia personal con la adición y recuperación, y ama poder usar su experiencia para ayudar a los demás durante su proceso.
“Me encanta ver a las personas descubrir sus puntos fuertes, sus capacidades, y alcanzar sus objetivos.”
"Si puedo cambiar el curso de la vida de un niño o ayudar con un trauma, entonces es un comienzo, y siempre intentaré hacer más."
Durante sus 20 años aquí, Jessie ha pensado mucho en cómo servir mejor a la comunidad Latina, crear servicios culturalmente apropiados y traer más personal y familias de habla hispana a Relief Nursery.
“Sé qué difícil es no poder comunicarse. Tener la oportunidad de ayudar a familias Latinas es importante para mí porque yo he estado en su situación. Por eso estoy aquí.”
