Review for Mil Milagros, Inc., Somerville, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a Mental Health Counselor and Venezuelan I found Mil Milagros 6 years ago though our founder when we visit to provide professional training to the staff and leader mothers in the organization . In retrospective we were the fortunate recipients of such more and such much learning !!! I was and still am so impressed with the professionalism and work ethic of the staff and parents of Mil Milagros team. They are genuinely all about being inclusive and active participants in the community. I love how there is such a dedication and humility in the leadership and their executive people to learning from them and with them....

I am also so impressed about their working model ... This organization really has created an efficient well -oiled machine with a soul ...To see them in action is inspiring and admirable ...a veces trabajando con las uñas y haciendo maravillas .... They make do and do it well!!!! Their ability to operate, evaluate, or reassess and then innovate their programming with the people and by the people is one of the secrets of their success. I admired how they are a unit with each other in the community , everybody brings something to the table and they are organized about how to go about it : I love how they are able to identify weakness or areas of growth and need (sure there is so much) and at the same time they all about bringing up the strengths, talents and marvelous resources that the folks and staff do have to tackle priorities and challenges ...and be successful! I can't wait to go back ..and in the meantime I will keep up with my monthly donation, and also putting my skills and my passion for my people and contribute in the ways we can figure out together!
Muchos saludos y mis respetos a toda la gente por alla !!

Review for Mil Milagros, Inc., Somerville, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

After working in the non-profit world for more than 20 years as a mental health professional and most recently as a Clinical Director I am so IMPRESSED with the work ethic and efficiency in which Mil Milagros team is operates... They are an organization that "trabajan con las justas" they do so much with what they get because they know how to invest both their social and monetary capital. They are so conscientious and intentional , well-planned and focused in their daily operations and programmatic work with families. This has inspired us to become monthly donors... The staff and leadership work as one with the community because they belong to it and the community has made MM theirs! As a US citizen and a citizen of the world I feel this bond too... I shared this connection every time I have with my friends and family members and they support me in every way they can so that I can work with MM staff and families.
All my office and my house are decorated with the magnificent handmade fair-traded artesania the organization sells to fund-raise not only because of their beauty and artistic talent but because I want to always remember what this experience did to me and the hope they give me every day in this world !!

...For the past 5 years and as part of the Parenting Journey team we have witnessed first hand the dignity and respect towards the mother leaders and the children which totally matched our person-first stance and our commitment with families!

What a privilege it has been to me and my colleagues to be there, to know and be part of the mission and vision of this organization and this community...
