Volunteer Sunilda Patricia Frias Ramirez Patricia has volunteered as a Summer youth program sport couch and as an administrative assistance. As a proud volunteer of CAF, I am overjoyed to be honored to be CAF’s Volunteer of the Month. CAF has always been a source of inspiration for me throughout the years, teaching me the fruits of hard work and perseverance.
I have worked hand in hand with the personnel to help needing families find stability in difficult situations, be their obstacles financial, personal, or social, and in doing so I have learned how to reach out to people in need.
CAF has always been an institution that goes beyond its four walls to reach disabled and underprivileged demographics, a labor which is difficult, yet so rewarding, and I honestly can’t imagine a better place to work or volunteer.
Thank you CAF so much for rewarding me with the title of Volunteer of the Month, however, my greatest reward has been serving to make my community a better place through your guidance. Warm Regards,
Sunilda Patricia Frias Ramirez
