Inspiring Forward: Lighting Up the Playground of Possibilities

We met with Crystal Espinal (CE), who shared her heartwarming experience volunteering at Field Day for Sunrise Elementary, where her children attend. Crystal’s first-time involvement included supporting a pre-K class with special needs. She highlighted the joy and inclusivity of the event, noting that the children’s challenges did not limit their enjoyment. Crystal found the experience deeply fulfilling and encouraged others to volunteer, reflecting on the profound impact it can have on both the community and one.
