In the heart of vibrant communities, programs like Kenzi’s Kidz have a profound impact that reaches far beyond simple assistance. Marisa Molina and her children—Zanysiah (15), Northreyez (12), Emelicia (5), and Honor (3)—have been embraced by Kenzi’s Kidz for over a decade, experiencing firsthand its transformative power.
Marisa’s journey with Kenzi’s Causes has been nothing short of life-changing. “It gave me the resources and kindness to realize that things wouldn’t change unless I changed,” she reflects. Overcoming homelessness and achieving financial stability, Marisa’s resilience, combined with the support from Kenzi’s Causes, has been instrumental in her family’s success.
Marisa cherishes family time, engaging in activities like game nights, painting, and bike rides to highlight the importance of togetherness. In the Molina household, Saturdays are sacred, dedicated to strengthening family bonds.
Reflecting on the support received from Kenzi’s Kidz, Marisa highlights the ways in which Kenzi’s Causes have made a difference in their lives. “To begin, Kenzi’s Kidz equipped my children with school supplies, which started this wonderful journey into an extended family for us,” she says. This initial support marked the beginning of a meaningful connection with Kenzi’s Causes that goes beyond just providing supplies.
Marisa adds that “the program has shown my children the love and care of strangers, teaching them that you don’t have to be related to be cared for.” This sense of community support has instilled values of kindness and compassion in her children, leaving a lasting impression.
One of the Molina family’s favorite events organized by Kenzi’s Causes is family photos. “Family photos provide us with memories of growth and togetherness,” Marisa shares warmly. These captured moments symbolize the progress and unity they’ve experienced through the program.
Marisa and her family remain forever grateful for the impact Kenzi’s Kidz program has had on their lives. Together, we celebrate their journey and the hope that comes from caring communities like ours.
