\nAt the Gala, TRP recognized community leaders who have committed themselves to action in support of improving the lives of others. These leaders are behind the scenes, doing the on-the-ground work of community revitalization but aren\u2019t in the spotlight.\u00a0\u00a0We honor these individuals who have committed themselves to civic engagement and giving back to their community.\u00a0 They are truly cornerstones; they are foundational to our work and to the work of making their streets and neighborhoods and city a better place to live.\u00a0
\nRosa Perez<\/strong>
\nA single mother of three who purchased her home in 1996, Ms. Perez not only invested in her community but for years has diligently fought with her neighbors to take back their streets when they were threatened by gangs and violence.\u00a0 Ms. Perez and her neighbors worked hard to close down dangerous hotspots and make the neighborhood a more safe and peaceful residential community.<\/p>\n

\"\"Edith Souto<\/strong>
\nTwo years ago, Ms. Souto, a participant in the Mujer Avanzando program, was riddled with debt and trying to leave an abusive husband. Today, Edith is debt free, has begun her own credit history, opened a savings account to buy her home. Ms. Souto is now very active in her parish and community by working to assist the homeless, youth drug addicts and reaching out to women who have been in domestic violence to financially prepare them to leave their abuser. Edith plans to open her own business and create a foundation to give back in the future.
\n\"\"Maria Hernandez and Rafael Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>
\nTenants of TRP\u2019s most recent affordable rental building, Casa Maravilla, the Pe\u00f1a-Hernandez family are active community residents and members of St. Pius, a Pilsen parish.\u00a0 Inspired by the impact of TRP\u2019s efforts in the community, they began volunteering, and most recently were captains of our voter registration drive.<\/p>\n

\"\"Yolanda Mercado<\/strong>
\nMs. Mercado, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001.\u00a0 She came to TRP\u2019s Stand Against Cancer workshops because her husband had lost his job and she didn\u2019t have health insurance; through the program, she was able to receive treatment and beat cancer. Now Ms. Mercado volunteers her time as a health advocate, educating other women on the importance of early detection, and participating in a variety of other civic engagement programs in the community.<\/p>\n

\"\"Sonia Espinoza<\/strong>
\nAs one of Elev8\u2019s first parent volunteers when the program began at Orozco Academy in 2008,\u00a0 Ms. Zamora taught herself English by sitting in on her son\u2019s classes and studying his books, lessons, and homework. After two years studying she finally earned her high school diploma. Now Ms. Zamora volunteers almost full-time as Elev8\u2019s spokesperson and has grown into a community leader, advocating on local and national levels on behalf of Elev8 and the importance of education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
