On Valentine’s Day, Marina Aparicio of Montgomery Village celebrated her 15th birthday in part by heading to a two-story house in Gaithersburg where she received small gifts and birthday wishes from friends she met at Identity Inc.”
She spends most of her days after school with other Latino youth at the Olde Towne nonprofit.
‘‘My birthday is really hard because … I remember my time in El Salvador,” she said. ‘‘All my birthdays, I had my grandmother, she took us out, we ate outside — it was really nice being with her, all the love that she gave us.”*
