CISDR Helps Lake Highlands Family with COVID-19
When a Lake Highlands High School family was dealing with COVID-19 earlier this fall, Site Coordinator Alma Camarena moved to action. With the father in the hospital and the mother and children in quarantine, Alma called Network of Communities Ministries and organized a truckload of emergency food and personal hygiene items to be securely delivered to the family. The children were so happy and excited to help their mom take the items into their house. Thanks to Alma for doing her part to help our students and families in this ongoing pandemic!
