Practitioner Story

Lino Ramos

Lino Ramos had been in prison for as long as he could remember. He was sent there when he was just a teenager and had never experienced the outside world since then. But one day, after 34 years behind bars, Lino was finally released back into society. He was grateful for the opportunity to start anew.

It wasn't long before Lino found a job at Urban Alchemy, a nonprofit organization that provides shelter and support to the homeless. With his experience as a hospital aide, Lino was a perfect fit for the role. He had always been compassionate and caring towards others, and his work at Urban Alchemy allows him to put those skills to use.

Over the course of his time at Urban Alchemy, Lino has learned how to interact with people from all walks of life. He has learned how to listen to their stories and offer them the support they need to get back on their feet. Most importantly, Lino has learned how to give back to his community.

For Lino, Urban Alchemy is more than just a job; it is a chance to make a difference in the world. And with each passing day, Lino feels more and more grateful for the opportunity to be a part of something so meaningful.
