The COVID-19 pandemic generated the greatest urgency for empathy and compassion in living memory. The scale of need is great, but empathy in action can be as “basic” as providing staple foods that speak to the heart. Lessons from the lives of Samuel, Jorge, and Maria revive our confidence in the ability to make a tangible improvement in human lives, especially when we can rely on the Steadfast Legacy of Hispanic Alliance.
Rut and Manuel look forward to raising their children with the same spirit of servant leadership that her parents passed to her. As soon as they are able, Milena and Marcel will become active volunteers with Hispanic Alliance.
The family moved to Greenville in 2005, and Antonia’s youngest son, Jorge, was born. As she made friends and learned to navigate local community resources for young children, she was disheartened to see that Hispanic mothers were not accessing the same services that had helped her family survive in North Carolina.
Judith’s sons were the first siblings to complete SDA, and are the first in her extended family to attend college. With a supportive organization at her back, Judith can focus on teaching them character lessons – ones that closely mirror how Hispanic Alliance sees our role in the community.
