National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty

I knew nothing about your cause until I met Danae Vachata. Ironically she had called to help my tiny non profit maximize its reach to the fragile population we serve. We hold volunteer health clinics two nights a week. She wants us to succeed. She has nothing. Nothing MATERIAL. But an endless desire to help anyone who has no resources---homeless, healthcare, hungry, and to Danae most importantly----education. She told me her story and I hired her on the spot. And believe me she was not looking for a job. She wanted to teach me how to capture goods for my clinic. She has applied for med school and worked as a waitress. No shame. I increased the hourly wage and begged her to join my staff. You have heard of no job too big or too small? She truly has set us on a whole new professional standard. The youngest. The sweetest. The hope.
