My godmother, Marsha Olguin, is truly a pillar of our community. For years, she has dedicated herself to helping others, working as a coordinator at Mary's Mercy Center, a homeless shelter, and previously at the Home of Neighborly Services, where she supported lower income youth. Her compassion and commitment have touched countless lives, and she has always put the needs of others before her own.

Now, she is facing a difficult situation. The house she has been renting for years is being sold, and she cannot afford to buy it from the owners. This home means everything to her and her son, who has severe autism and has lived there his whole life. The thought of leaving is overwhelming for both of them, especially for her son, who relies on the stability and familiarity of their home.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward a down payment, giving Marsha and her son the chance to stay in the place they love and continue being a vital part of our community. I am asking everyone who has been touched by her kindness—or who believes in the power of community—to give a piece of their heart. Your support will help provide the stability and hope they need during this challenging time. Thank you for considering a donation and for standing with a family who has always stood with others.
