Adriana Molina
Jodi a, Adriana se yon Sèjan nan Depatman Lapolis Stamford, ki plase nan Inite Sante Konpòtman li a.
Adriana te vin yon ofisye lapolis a laj de 37 an. Li renmen travay li absoliman. Li ka jwenn nan tout vil la kominike avèk moun nan lari yo epi ede nan tout fason li kapab. Antanke yon Sèjan ki responsab Inite Sante Konpòtman an, Adriana ak ekip li a souvan angaje ak fanmi yo ak moun ki nan bezwen. Li di, “nou pale ak yo epi aprann konnen yo, epi nou fè tout sa nou kapab pou idantifye ak satisfè bezwen yo. Travay mwen an te totalman rekonpanse. Mwen te rankontre anpil moun etonan pandan karyè mwen."
Li kwè ke Stamford bay yon gwo kantite opòtinite ak resous pou tout manm nan kominote a: “Li enspire wè kolaborasyon fòmidab ant anpil ajans lokal yo ak Depatman Lapolis Stamford. Kalite inite sa a bay opòtinite pou bay tout manm kominote nou an pouvwa.”

Juan Rave
Jodi a, Reginald se yon atis, k ap travay kounye a kòm yon asistan sante lakay.
Reggie was a university-trained artist when he came to Boston in 2015 to be part of a painting exhibition at the Haitian consulate office. That exhibition never happened, and the political situation in Haiti made it too dangerous to return home. So, Reggie decided to make a new home with his mom already here. It was hard. He had left behind his family. He says, "I had to start over. It is so crazy how one day you are a professionally recognized painter making a good living and suddenly everything you have worked for has no value. You have to start from the bottom again."
He reminisces about how much Building One Community helped him. "I came to B1C with little English. They helped me learn the language, they helped me train for jobs, they helped me with a lot of other things. I am sincerely grateful."
