This Women’s Day, we want to share a story of resilience, strength, and quiet courage.
Many of you regulars already know Monica well. She has been a hardworking janitor and an important part of the CORE family for the past 10 years. Shortly after joining CORE, Monica lost her husband and became a young widow with five children, four daughters and one son. Despite the immense challenge, she showed incredible resilience, rebuilding her life and working tirelessly to provide for her children.
Life tested her again in the most heartbreaking way when, last year, Monica lost her only son in a tragic accident. Yet through unimaginable grief, Monica found the strength to keep going — showing up every day for herself and for her daughters, and just recently celebrated the marriage of her eldest daughter.
Today, we celebrate Monica. Through her pain, she continues to smile, to persevere, and to play a role in making your workout experience better every day.
Her strength reminds us that resilience often lives in the quiet heroes among us.
Happy Women’s Day to Monica and to all the incredible women who inspire us with their courage every day. 🌸
