So I knew they were struggling and I made the decision to stay at IU. In hindsight it was the best decision I could have made, but it was fraught with a lot of challenges and La Casa, specifically, Lillian provided that support and community… At the end of the day, really, it's the people that are here that have such a huge impact. Like I said, [I] will forever be grateful."
