“You have to give back to your community.

That’s what makes it strong and a great place to live.”

Manuel volunteers at the Interfaith Pharmacy. He helped Tina get her medication that she needed to save her life.

When he and his sister, Elizabeth, were young, they received medical assistance. His sister has diabetes and needed the same medication as Tina. Without the nonprofit pharmacy available to him and his family, Elizabeth would not have lived.

Manuel graduated top of his class and attended college. Never forgetting how he was helped and believing he could help others, Manuel became a pharmacist. He volunteers at the nonprofit that helped his family many years ago.
