Additional Information
The passing of my Father has given me the opportunity to give back to those who have been there for me through my journey. I donate most of my Wednesday's and Saturdays to Throggs Neck Alliance Food Bank run by Angela Torres. It has given me the opportunity to help those who are struggling through these hard times. I translate, as well as set up/clean up and give out food. It is so rewarding to help those who need a smile, a warm conversation with a meal that will help them get through the week.
Besides, donating my time, I am a Full-Time Mom to an Honor Student with low muscle tone. I am seeking a part-time job where I still have the opportunity to pick him up from school. I am a hard worker, as well as a multi-tasker. I am currently setting up a internet business to showcase the jewelry and crafts I make.. My "Moto" is hard work is the bonus of finding your way to your new destination.
