My name is Endrias and I have been running my first Adult Family Home‘s since 2016 and later on added a second one in 2021 serving the Marysville area. I understand operating an AFH is such a huge responsibility and I have tried to gain as much knowledge as I possible and I now share Knowledges that I have to other fellow providers in order to make sure I clarify things and suggesting ideas for them to maneuver from whatever challenges they facing. The past few months being on the board seat taught me so much and helped me to share individual concerns of providers and share it with the board and bring solutions back to AFH communities . I would like to continue doing that and serve the AFH community with the full term which I am running at the moment and would like to ask your vote in order to achieve that goal.

For Osha, this was more than just a professional achievement—it was the culmination of her lifelong mission to love, honor, and serve the most vulnerable.
