When Derly first came to the U.S., she thought it would be for a few months. Twelve years later, she still lives here, and she loves her job in marketing for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

At ALSAC, I’ve been able to meet a lot of Hispanics, and it’s really nice to know each other and to learn about the cultures. We have different cultural nuances that we learn every single day.
