#TBT: Celeste’s Story Around Thanksgiving this past year, Maryvale employees received a call from Joe sharing a story about his nine year-old daughter Celeste. Like many of us, Celeste was feeling a little distant from friends and family due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of getting down on herself, Celeste decided to share her good fortune and give back to children in need by donating to Maryvale! She reached out to friends and family and started a GoFundMe page t...o collect over $1,000 in donations to help Maryvale’s children and families during the holidays. While her parents fully supported her efforts, Celeste did everything herself. Please join us in thanking Celeste for her inspiring selflessness during these difficult times, and for helping Maryvale to continue to heal, empower and educate children and families through our Early Education and Community-Based Services To help support Maryvale’s mission like Celeste, visit https://www.maryvale.org/support-programs.
