MODELShe was born in Philadelphia in 1956.
She belonged to a modest family. When she was ten, they moved to the west.
She hasn’t lived in a different place since then.Her earliest memory is just unforgettable.
One day she was playing in a park when she found a handicapped woman…Today she is her best friend.
She’s worked for a Social Dept programme for thirty years. She has met hundreds of people who have experienced a
trauma in their childhood…She’ll probably volunteer in new social programmes to help
children when she is retired.
