After years of serving the Hispanic community through Centro Hispano, founder Ingrid Guzman retired Wednesday to spend more time with family and perhaps write a book about her life.
When Guzman came to the United States 21 years ago from Guatemala, she faced a variety of challenges in a new country. The language barrier made getting help for her family difficult, and it made escaping domestic violence with her children impossible. In the 12 years Guzman lived in Arizona, she had trouble getting out of her dangerous situation because she did not know how to find help. Help did not come until the whole family moved to Utah so the oldest daughter could attend Brigham Young University. “*
