I have a lot of experience with cleaning, so I know how to make the kitchen shine! I also have a very positive attitude, and I make sure that the kitchen is an encouraging place.
What gifts do you receive from PMC?
I love the community here, and I’m inspired by the volunteers that come in and give us their kindness and their time. I love how nothing at Dégagé is just one-sided. It’s all a two-way street of giving and receiving.
“My grandma was a baker, and a very important person to me. She baked from scratch, just like we do; she would use the real butter, and the real lemon juice, so I feel her looking down on me while I’m baking these cookies with the same ingredients.”
