Courtney L. Deang

Barefoot is a gift I’ll always carry with me wherever I go. It’s where I’ve found growth, purpose, and lifelong role models who have inspired me to give my all for something bigger than myself.

Marjorie Juliana L. Martinez

Barefoot molded me into an advocate motivated by the community’s needs, teaching me that true service is grounded in empathy and solidarity — service that listens, learns, and walks with others.
