“I shouldn’t have to choose  
   between my health and 
 Helping Others ” 
 Vanessa Luna has always fought for what matters  
 to her, whether that’s advocating for immigrant  
 families at her nonprofit, or taking up kickboxing  
 to stay healthy. After becoming a permanent U.S.  
 resident, Vanessa planned to take a trip home  
 to Peru to visit her family. Then the COVID-19  
 pandemic hit. Rather than be defeated, Vanessa  
 kicked into gear, helping the families she serves  
 apply for financial relief. Now, Vanessa has joined  
 the fight against COVID-19 by getting vaccinated,  
 and is one step closer to seeing her family again. 
 Getting vaccinated is how we beat COVID-19 together.
