Alyssa Morales attended the youth programs at Our Lady of Guadalupe Centers as a child and now as a mother, she realizes how much it shaped her life. She wants to thank the director.
“She was always there for everyone,” Morales said. “Even if there wasn’t enough to go around, Gina Coronado would make it happen, even if she paid out of her own pocket.”
When FOX4 surprised Gina at the youth center on the Westside, she was handing out school supplies. Gina teared up after receiving the $400 dollar gift card.
