Let me tell you a little bit about my mother and overall, a wonderful woman, Dona Gloria Velez Alvarez. First off, she was a nurse at the public hospital in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, where she was known in the community and throughout the neighborhood. It seemed like every afternoon someone would come to the house to get an injection and Mom always kept the syringes boiling to the point that at times they couldn’t even be touched. When someone was going to have a baby in the neighborhood, they would come looking for Gloria and if someone had an infection, cut, or needed bandages changed, Mom was the go-to person for the neighborhood.
There would be times where I had to go to an appointment for either the doctor or the dentist and mom would take me to work with her at the hospital. When the appointment was over the nurse, or the assistant would take me back to where mom was working for that day and the other nurses would entertain me by letting me call patients. I think this is where my love for nursing started.
When we started the medical missions, mom would always give me donations of shampoo, hand sanitizer, and other things, and couldn’t wait for me to get back, so that I could tell her all the towns we went to help those in need. Even though she had already seen it all on Facebook.
This is the legacy that my mother left me, and I will continue to follow it for as long as I can.
Our hard-working, good-natured, humble mother taught us to always give without receiving anything in return, because she knew God will take care of the rest.
Even until the end of her life she provided support to our 2023 mission.
