This last Saturday, December 7, Maila L. celebrated her 19th birthday! It was so much fun, there was a bunch of homemade Hmong food including egg rolls, pho, sticky rice, etc. made directly by Maila and her friends. It was all delicious. She celebrated in the flat and so many people showed up! She had friends and family and a lot of people in StepUP there. This was a great party but not just because a lot of people showed up and the food was great. This was an awesome party because it showed how much the people in our community care for each other. There is so much compassion and acceptance and care here, and examples like this make me and everyone else in StepUP so happy and grateful for it. happy Birthday Maila!
