"NMSHSA is the beacon of hope many families depend on to see their kids flourish in our communities. In a country where all the odds seem stacked against us, it’s important to see and feel the love and hard work of the NMSHSA family. Through awareness and action, we can make this country a better place for future generations to come. We must do it for all of the children like my peers and I. For a sense of belonging and importance; a respect for ourselves that we must declare as our own. My internship in 2016 was all this embodied in one summer; and for that I’ll forever be grateful.”
