I began volunteering for the Red Cross because I wanted to give back to my country, community and the people that have helped me to become the person I am today.

Through the Red Cross, I am able to positively impact other people’s lives, to help people in need.

I also volunteer in Whatcom county, specifically with the Chore Program. These roles give me the freedom to volunteer around my full-time job, which means spending nights and weekends with fellow volunteers.

I appreciate how flexible the Red Cross is with my schedule and personal life.
