Alice is the founder and director of Helping Hands for the Disabled NYC for the past 38 years. She has written a book titled, "Never Be Discouraged, with God All Things are Possible" which tells the story of her life and how she has been living her life with faith, courage and resilience. Even though she was born blind, Alice's journey is inspirational, against all odds she made a firm decision at a very early age to take matters in her own hands and be independent rather than relying on welfare.
She struggled in school as a blind little girl, but never gave up. She put in the work with determination and became a court interpreter where she worked for over three decades. She founded Helping hands to assist people with disability where people volunteer and provide food, take people to appointments, shopping, buy equipment, and many more services.
She is a firm in her belief that it is always good to look at the bright side of things and more especially take responsibility rather than look for excuses. She is a great example to follow, coming from a very poor background, blind and never gave up on her dreams of being independent financially.
