Intern Story: For Vicky, cooking represents family. Vicky remembers waiting impatiently for their grandfather to come home to cook with them and the excitement when their uncle asked for help creating a new recipe.
These memories nourished Vicky when their mother started suffering from cardiac arrests and their uncle (who was a father figure to Vicky) passed away. Cooking was a steadying exercise that kept them going.
Vicky seeks a community sponsor to fund their culinary internship with host restaurant Sobre Mesa. In a professional kitchen, Vicky will develop advanced culinary skills to pursue goals of attending culinary school and opening a restaurant. Donate today to help Vicky carry on traditions of love, family, and food.
