As a former case manager who worked directly with families often from very under-served, under-resourced, and under-educated communities, Wendy Hernandez- Gamillo has witnessed the limitations of state social service programs in providing achievable, holistic solutions to larger systemic issues. The solution isn’t only in removing the root cause of an issue, but in providing the resources, education, and support an individual or family needs in order to break a vicious cycle and plant hope and opportunity. Plant a Seed was inspired by the vision of helping individuals and family sow into their own futures and the long-term future of the community.
