Ana Perez has opened doors for Latino newcomers – Rochester, New York
Tagged: family, latina, New York, RochesterPosted on: March 6th, 2007“From the day she stepped foot on Rochester soil in 1953 from her native town in Cayey, Puerto Rico, my mother, Ana Lydia Perez, has been the consummate community builder, building community one person, one family at a time.
As one of the pioneers to Rochester from the island of Puerto Rico with a tremendous gift of hospitality for those new to the country or just in need of a family, Ana Lydia worked tirelessly to receive all the new arrivals and quickly move them to self-sufficiency so that their families could follow.”
