Why I run.
Hi everyone!
My name is Denisse Herrera and I am just starting my graduate studies to get my MSW and pursue a clinical behavioral health track. I have wanted to work in a helping profession since I was little, but never quite knew what I wanted to do, how to get there, or when to start. I am stepping back into my schooling now because I am slowly but surely shedding some of the demons of my past in order to settle into who I am and how I want to be and that is a community member, a helper, and a healer.
I see that Marian House has created such beautiful and safe spaces to support and uplift women and children living through homelessness and struggles with addiction. Homelessness and addiction afflict more people than we care to think, and women and children are especially susceptible to violence and harm that keeps them in positions of powerlessness or fear.
I am fundraising for Marian House because my goal is to work with women and children in a therapeutic context, and I see this event as a really positive way for me to be involved in something larger than myself for the benefit of my community.
Please help me reach my goal of 200.00 in the next ten days! I plan to run my 5K virtually with all the other donors, sponsors, and supports for empowerment and ultimately, independence.
