Aurora’s life is a testament to the power of faith, love, and resilience. A devoted single woman and an only child, she poured her heart into serving the Lord through her local church, finding immense joy in mission work. Her passion for helping others, especially through her trips to Africa, fueled her dream of becoming a full-time missionary. But in a twist of divine purpose, Aurora found her true mission closer to home.

In 2016, Aurora’s life changed forever when her mother, Sofia, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Sofia, a loving and independent widow, had spent her life raising Aurora with unparalleled devotion and sacrifice. Now, the roles reversed, and Aurora embraced the role of caregiver with the same steadfast love her mother had shown her.

The shift was overwhelming at first. Aurora was consumed by fear, anxiety, and uncertainty as she navigated the uncharted territory of caregiving. But her faith and determination led her to seek out resources, which eventually brought her to Alzheimer’s Los Angeles. This discovery proved to be a lifeline, opening a "box of hope" that would guide her through the challenges ahead.

Through Alzheimer’s Los Angeles, Aurora gained invaluable resources and tools that empowered her to better care for Sofia. She learned the importance of self-care and how to manage the physical and emotional demands of caregiving. However, it was the support group that made the most profound impact.

The group provided Aurora with more than just advice; it became her safe place. Surrounded by people who truly understood her struggles, she found emotional support and built bonds that felt like an extended family. This sense of community helped Aurora move from a place of fear to one of strength and acceptance.

Today, Aurora is in a much better place—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Her caregiving journey has become not just her challenge but her blessing. Inspired by the support she received; Aurora has made it her mission to help other caregivers. She shares her experiences and offers companionship to those walking the same path, ensuring they know they are not alone.

Aurora’s story is a reminder that God’s plans often differ from our own but are always filled with purpose. While she once dreamed of being a missionary in faraway lands, Aurora found her calling in the quiet, daily acts of love and care for her mother.
