Councilwoman Visits our Home

Last fall, Maria Quinones-Sanchez was elected as Philadelphia’s first Hispanic woman on city council. We were particularly excited about this new representative because she visited our block during her campaign and we got a chance to talk to her face to face. She represents a large and very diverse area of Philadelphia, but grew up in our neighborhood. She even attended the elementary school just half a block from our house. Consequently, she cares deeply about the struggles this neighborhood faces. In February, we actually sat down with her in our home and shared our desire to make a positive impact. Please pray that our connection to her will develop in the coming months and years, and that God will use it for His glory—to bring healing to this neighborhood.
