Azucena has begun to apply for jobs in the area and has interviews lined up in addition to exploring childcare options for her eldest son with down syndrome. Azucena has always maintained steady and reliable employment and has been able to support herself and her children. Fleeing from her abuser has placed her in a sudden financial crisis-- we are confident that Azucena will continue to be able to sustain her household's living expenses if granted this gift. Azucena will be an advocate and positive role model for women who are experiencing or are survivors of domestic violence. She ultimately hopes to pay it forward when she is in her new home and stable enough with work that she is able to return to school and be active in her community.
