About Helena

I became a care giver because I have a passion for helping those who can't help themselves. Care giving is not a job for me, it is a ministry that I take serious. I do it because I love it, it is rewarding for me and it is better to give than to receive. I completed two years' of college when I was told I would never make it. I am a fighter. I don't believe in giving up. I am a happy person, full of love and I like to spread it if people will accept it. I plan to some day own my own business and travel to other countries and help the less fortunate.
