These storms have brought unprecedented rainfall to our region which, yes, has had a positive effect on our drought (though it is far from over), but also devastation to many, more often those without the resources to recover quickly or fully.&nbsp;<strong>VCCF continues to support 805 UndocuFund and the Farmworker Household Assistance Program<\/strong>&nbsp;to provide resources to these families in need in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At our March VCCF Board of Directors meeting, our Board approved more than&nbsp;<strong>$200,000 in grants to nonprofits making a difference in the health of our community<\/strong>. These grants made it possible for Westminster Free Clinic, Planned Parenthood Central Coast, and the Conejo Free Clinic to buy new medical equipment and expand services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example of a meaningful difference we are making together is to&nbsp;<strong>Health Care Foundation For Ventura County<\/strong>&nbsp;to support the Child Life Specialist at the Ventura County Medical Center. I had the pleasure of touring VCMC thanks to Amy Towner, Chief Executive Officer of HCFVC, and I must share the most impactful moment I had on that tour.&nbsp;<strong>I was introduced to Caitlyn Martin, VCMC\u2019s Certified Child Life Specialist<\/strong>. VCMC cares for some of the sickest kids in Ventura County, and Caitlyn brings ease and comfort to these young patients. With a compassionate and personal approach, she helps kids prepare for procedures from getting a shot, to cancer treatments, to surgery. These kids are comforted by Caitlyn at some of their most difficult moments. I didn\u2019t know we had this amazing service in Ventura County and I\u2019m expect most of you did not as well. Caitlyn, thank you for the work you to do support our community, and particularly our kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am confident we have a wonderful year of giving ahead. We are in the final stages our preparing our&nbsp;<strong>Legacy Magazine<\/strong>&nbsp;which will share many stories from our donors and nonprofit partners, and the collective positive impact we are having in Ventura County. Thank you for your partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeffrey Lambert, Diretor de Opera\u00e7\u00f5es da VCCF<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Child Life Specialist at Ventura County Medical Center\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rDqcMOGYS9Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>To learn more about Caitlin and her work as VCMC\u2019s Certified Child Life Specialist, watch this video!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/805uf-winter-update.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17702\" style=\"width:328px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/805uf-winter-update.jpg 688w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/805uf-winter-update-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/805uf-winter-update-14x12.jpg 14w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">805 UndocuFund Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Os nossos amigos da&nbsp;<strong>805 Fundo n\u00e3o documentado<\/strong>&nbsp;have been hard at work this rainy winter&nbsp;<strong>supporting local undocumented families through the storms<\/strong>.
