Michelle's Story
​​
Michelle’s passion for serving the homeless is rooted from her grandmother whose selflessness led her to different communities in Kingston, Jamaica and Bronx, New York to serve anyone that needed help. Michelle started volunteering with her church, and other volunteer program, then eventually branched out and started making care packages for the homeless. Her beacon of hope is ensuring that providing resources will present some level of comfort to our displaced community members.
