Igama lami ngingu-Emmanuel Blanco futhi ngiyi-Community Resource Navigator yeGalveston County Food Bank.

Ngazalelwa eBrownville, TX futhi sengihlale endaweni yaseHouston iminyaka engama-21 manje. Ngiphothule ePasadena High School ngabe sengiqhubeka nokufunda eSan Jacinto College. Ngiyakuthanda ukukhonza esontweni lami, iFirst Church yasePearland, lapho ngisiza khona njengomuntu obingelelayo emnyango futhi njengelungu leqembu elisamukela izivakashi zethu. Ngiyakujabulela ukuchitha isikhathi nomndeni wami nabangane. Kanye nokujabulela ezinye zezinto engizithandayo njengokuya olwandle, ukuya emidlalweni yebhola, ukupenda nokulalela umculo.

Esikhathini esedlule bengikade ngisebenza ezinkampanini zabameli, kodwa nginqume ukushintsha imikhakha ngenze umsebenzi wokusebenzela umphakathi ukuze ngisize futhi ngisebenzele umphakathi.

Nginethemba elikhulu lokusiza nokufinyelela emphakathini wethu ngezinsizakalo esizinikezayo. Njenge-Community Resource Navigator ngingasiza abantu ngokufaka isicelo sohlelo lwe-Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), i-Children's Medicaid (CHIP), i-Healthy Texas Women, ne-Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
