Juan Moreno 64 years old and originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, has been connected whit "La Plaza" for 39 years.
He says: "La plaza has helped me immensely. I've received support with food, groceries, vehicle repairs, and assistance to get dental care, all of which have greatly improved my quality of life. I have strong, positive relationship with the staff because I fell at home here.
The involvement of police in various events organized by La Plaza has also changed my perception of the authorities."
Now I invite others to join this circle of support."
Daniel Armas and Katiuska, originally from Guarico, Venezuela, came here seeking a better life. In their desperate search for help, they met the coordinator of "La plaza" at the food distribution event, and that encounter changed their lives.
"La plaza: provided them with much more than just assistance; it gave them hope and support when they needed it most. They say with gratitude: "La Plaza gave us back hope and helped us build a dignified life and we are very grateful"
Now, as volunteers, they give back with their time what they once received and ask the foundations to continue supporting "La Plaza" to keep helping the community"
