hOnoring our parents

Joseph and Clara Community Outreach was formed by us to honor the lives of our late parents Joseph and Clara. With over 40 years of marriage they were blessed to live long enough to see their great grandchildren.  They were loved by so many because they represented love, strength, and faithfulness to each other, their family, and the community.

Joseph had a wonderful Military career that took him all over the world as a military attache. His military career only deepened his love for humanitarian work. It was his life's mission to be impactful. He encouraged this same love for those in need in his children. Joseph grew up among people that had little access to higher education, poor economic conditions, and  low access to quality health care.

His blessings were a constant reminder to him of how different his life could have been. This state of gratitude combined with his strong faith in God governed all his decisions and advice. He prayed before making any major decision in life. He encouraged his children to develop deep and personal spiritual lives.  

 Our mother Clara, was the strong matriarch of our family. She was a woman of unwavering resilience and boundless love. Every day, she prepared delicious meals, making it her mission to ensure every guest felt welcomed and well-fed. Clara's love for her family was boundless, always spoiling her grandchildren and imparting words of wisdom to those around.

During challenging times, she was our rock, showing unparalleled strength, resilience, and gentle care. Her legacy legacy of love and unwavering support continues to inspire and guide our work.

Joseph and Clara shared a love for God, family, and community. They prayed  together every morning and night.  They encouraged everyone they knew to have a personal relationship with God to obtain peace through life's challenges.

Although we lost our father to cancer and our mother a few months later from a broken heart, their legacy lives on through this outreach. We are honored to continue their rich history of supporting those most vulnerable in our global and local community.
