“I’m overjoyed to share that my ERMA loan has been approved! I was at work when I got the news, I shouted and began to pray right then and there. I truly appreciate all the support I received throughout this process. You were never impatient with me. I’m so incredibly grateful because, honestly, my back was against the wall. I didn’t know what I was going to do. This loan has lifted such a weight off my shoulders, and I’ll never forget the compassion and guidance I was given during one of the most stressful times of my life.”

"One of my favorite childhood memories was my birthday every year. Since my birthday falls on January 6th, many gifts were “Christmas and birthday” combined. Thanks to PRAHD’s Día de los Reyes Toy Drive, I received a big bag of toys every year. I can only imagine the relief that brought my mom. Today, many parents are feeling that same worry as the holiday season approaches."

"To say that PRAHD has been a lifeline for so many vulnerable families in our city would be an understatement. For over 50 years, PRAHD has answered the call to service, turning compassion into action and hope into opportunity. From the young to the young at heart, the agency’s unwavering commitment to strengthening families has always been at the core of its mission, and for this we are deeply grateful."
