“Estoy agradecida con la Familia Sana por haber ayudado a mi y a mi familia durante un tiempo muy oscuro. Mi hermano sufrió un accidente donde lo dejó encapacitado, gracias a La Familia Sana puede abogar por mi hermano. El programa Quitapena realmente nos quitó una pena de encima. Gracias a este programa pudimos pagar nuestra renta y otros gastos.”
E.P.
As a newly single mom the pressure of full responsibility and costs of raising my son gave me so much anxiety and stress! Starting a new job also disqualified me from any government food assistance! Living off food pantry and food drives was really affecting our diet at home and my mental health! Without the help of La Familia Sana I would not be able to give my son the best possible start in life and I’m so appreciative of their selfless mission! - A.K.
“Lamentablemente hace un mes perdí a mi hija mayor, yo no sabía ni por dónde empezar con los trámites del funeral. Mayra de La Familia Sana me ayudó con todo el proceso, y el programa de Quitapena cubrió parte de mis gastos. También, La Familia Sana nos ha apoyado con trámites legales y de salud mental. Yo estoy muy agradecida con todo el equipo por todo lo que hicieron por mi y mi familia.”
