Growing up in Santa Ana and being part of KidWorks gave me the <br />tools, skills, and confidence to pursue my goals; I am currently working on completing my <br />Doctorate in Education and recently returned to KidWorks as Associate Director of Programs. <br />I am grateful for those partners that have supported KidWorks youth in reaching our goals. <br />The Segerstrom family has long been one of those champions. Their generosity has supported <br />programs that not only shaped my own journey but continue to empower hundreds of students <br />every year. Their commitment goes beyond financial giving; it reflects genuine care for the young <br />people of our city and a desire to help us reach our full potential. <br />Like KidWorks, the Segerstrom family believes in building a stronger community where every <br />child can thrive. Their values of integrity, compassion, and dedication to the next generation are <br />evident in both their actions and their investments. <br />For these reasons, I gladly extend my voice of support, along with many other youth and families <br />in Santa Ana for the Segerstrom family and their proposed improvements of The Village Santa <br />Ana Project. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Erika Sanchez <br />KidWorks Alumna and Santa Ana Resident <br /> <br />KidWorks…We Unleash Youth Potential <br />
