After growing up in Panama, Milka moved to the United States when her daughter Hanna was just a baby. Adversity has not been a stranger to Milka, but her desire to provide Hanna with every opportunity for success has enabled her to continue finding a way forward. Due to the constantly increasing rent costs in Sarasota, Milka and her daughter have been forced to relocate every year for the last five years. She is grateful to know that this will be their last move for a very long time!
Milka works full time while also attending classes as she works towards a degree in Christian counseling. Milka has provided 348 volunteer hours toward her “sweat equity” requirement. We celebrated a home dedication for Milka and her daughter Hanna on June 9, 2016 and they moved in shortly after.
This home was made possible by funding provided by Publix Supermarkets Charities and Sutter Roofing Company.
