Felix cumpleaños Donna Balka
Today we celebrate a woman of strength,
a woman of conviction,
a woman who does not stand quietly on the sidelines,
but steps forward with courage, purpose, and heart.
Donna, you are a powerful force.
You speak your mind with honesty and wisdom,
You support multiculturalism not only with words,
but with your presence,
your actions,
your generosity,
and your unwavering belief in community.
You attend the meetings,
the roundtables,
the celebrations,
the difficult conversations,
and the moments that matter most.
You help fundraise to keep our doors open,
you share your knowledge so others can grow,
and you share your power so our community can remain strong.
At ALASI, your impact is deeply felt.
You help create spaces where people feel seen,
valued,
and supported.
Your commitment to the Latino community and to all people is a true example of solidarity in action.
May this birthday bring you the same joy,
strength,
and love that you so freely give to others.
May you continue to inspire,
to lead,
and to remind us that real change happens when people care enough to act.
Happy Birthday, Donna.
Thank you for being part of the heart of ALASI.
