Collage of Cecilia Aviles with family and a quote about RMHC Bay Area’s evolving support for families, shared for Hispanic Heritage Month. QUOTE: “To be able to help families through what oftentimes is their hardest journey, keeping them together and united – that in itself is healing.

That’s exciting to me.”
