PRISCILLA A

Priscilla has always had a passion and a vision for mentoring and currently is a volunteer mentor for a middle school in Wilmington, Delaware. Her nominator, Karen, met Priscilla years ago as they were volunteering, serving soup at an Empty Bowls event, and learned they had mutual interests. The friendship grew and evolved, and although Karen moved cross country to New Mexico two years ago, she knows she will always have a friend in Priscilla.⁣

Karen was so moved and inspired by Priscilla’s mission to serve she immediately knew she had to nominate Priscilla when she discovered our program. Karen shared, “Along with the events in her childhood and despite lifelong chronic pain, Priscilla leads a life of service and I’m sure I’m only aware of a few of her commitments. She is a beautiful soul and she never seeks out recognition for herself. I feel good knowing she is out in the community making a difference.”⁣

Priscilla’s leadership and guidance aim to advance the educational and personal growth of her students. She lives by these inspiring words, “Everyone talks about leaving a better planet for our children. I prefer to do what I can to leave better children on this planet.”
