Dear First District Neighbors & Friends, and City of Pasadena:

Giving, Gratitude, & Grace

Those three words have been on my mind a lot lately. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our neighbors have lost their jobs and consequently are uncertain of where their next paychecks are coming from. With all that’s going on in the world, I am grateful to have played a part in providing local families with a grocery store gift card and a turkey for this Thanksgiving.

Through my annual Thanksgiving Giveaway, in collaboration with La Pintoresca Teen Education Center on Friday, November 20th, I was able to help our neighbors celebrate family and the people and things they are grateful for. As the days go by, they may not remember who helped them take their mind off the issues they are facing, but I will not forget the feeling of helping families in Pasadena And all the neighbors and organizations that played a part, With all of his partners help we were able to give these facilities some sense of normalcy and peace of mind at the start of this holiday season. Even if only for a few hours.

Every year at this time, we give thanks and reflect on the blessings that have been bestowed upon us. We are thankful for our family, friends, and loved ones. I am thankful for the opportunity to continue to represent the First District of Pasadena and the city on the City Council. As Thanksgiving Day approaches, let’s continue to give thanks for all that is good in our lives, while we do our best to navigate the challenges this year has presented. Let’s do our best to show one another grace.

Please keep health and safety in mind as we celebrate the holidays this year. Here is a link to our public health department’s holiday guidance:

Sincerely,
