In the recent EHDN Newsletter, Factor-H work is featured in two articles – the first launches the 2024 Gratitude Day campaign; the second is by Alex Fisher, who tells her story of coming to Venezuela and the work she is conducting together with Factor-H & Habitat LUZ in Maracaibo to launch a comprehensive caregiver program focused on people living in conditions of extreme vulnerability. Her narrative is powerful, poignant and filled with passion. Alex came with interest and curiosity and left a changed person- both personally and professionally. She quickly earned the love, respect, and trust, difficult to obtain from these families, through her kindness, compassion and sincerity. Please read her story and reach out if you want to join her cause to bring relief to caregivers in Venezuela.
