My name is Debora, and I moved to Cedar Rapids about 16 years ago. I’m the mother of two adult girls, and two boys who were both adopted at birth -one graduated from Prairie, and the other is a freshman there.
I am the owner of two small businesses, and I’m a stay at home/work from home mom. I have a background in financial services, experience as a paramedic, a hospital cashier and biller, a computer builder, and I’m currently a professional online moderator and web master. I’ve been the President of the Board for the Prairie Rec Baseball & Softball Association for several years, along with being a current board member of Together We Achieve.
I know that the Derecho has put a ton of folks in a position that they never thought they’d find themselves. Some are hungry, some are homeless, some are both. Most are struggling and simply looking for a hand up, not a hand out. That is why I joined TWA.
Rachel assumed the role of leader and caregiver at a very young age. As the third of four children, she instantly fell in line with her older siblings to care for their newest family member, a younger sister, and she understands what it’s like to go without essentials such as food, clothing, and support.
These experiences drove her to become a hardworking, understanding, and caring individual. Not only does she work every day to provide for her family, she also works tirelessly to provide for her community. If there’s something you need, and she can’t provide it, she will find someone who can.
