alma trevino grew up in Seattle, Washington. There she worked with homeward bound women and children as an emergency housing advocate and volunteered in providing childcare. This experience helped her comprehend the complexities of being displaced. During her work at the emergency shelter, she herself became homeless---even while holding down three jobs! But in her optimism to stay on course, with her numerous jobs and volunteerism, she also found that hope without GOD was fruitless. She is now a practicing Christian and working on her growth towards this assignment. Every day she is witness to HIS miracles! They are especially found in diffi cult times.
