MODELShe was born in Philadelphia in 1956.

She belonged to a modest family. When she was ten, they moved to the west.

She hasn’t lived in a different place since then.Her earliest memory is just unforgettable.

One day she was playing in a park when she found a handicapped woman…Today she is her best friend.

She’s worked for a Social Dept programme for thirty years. She has met hundreds of people who have experienced a

trauma in their childhood…She’ll probably volunteer in new social programmes to help

children when she is retired.
