Through our community fundraising events we chose or have the community nominate families so we are able to assist parents and caregivers of autistic individuals by helping with the purchase of back to school items; gifting families full Thanksgiving meals as well as providing Christmas gifts for every child in the chosen family of the autistic individual.

I am Kesha Latrell, born and raised in the city of Passaic, NJ. What have I accomplished on my journey in this thing we call life? After graduating from the one and only Passaic High School I attended Wilfred Beauty Academy where I enjoyed learning all there was in the field of cosmetology. I owned and worked in a salon for several years before I transitioned into the field of pharmacology. While employed by Purdee Pharma for 10 years, I was then diagnosed with Lupus and was unable to continue working full time in such a demanding field. I am a self-published author of 3 books Healing My Soul, My Soul Is Well and The Basics, “What We Need to Know About Teen Dating Violence”. For 11 years I was the founder of The Elizabeth Mae Eaddy Organization and advocated against Teen Dating Violence.
What inspired me to take part in such a great cause? Growing up with my older sister who has special needs taught me at a very early age that some people are different. As I became an adult, I learned the importance of having patience, understanding, and most importantly giving grace to those with special needs. I am truly grateful for what my sister has taught me and will always be grateful for the lessons learned from my sister.
Being a part of Christopher Cares is an honor and I’m looking forward to all that Christopher Cares has to offer to families who have loved ones on the autism spectrum.

My name is Jordan B, and I was born in Passaic, NJ. I’m a student at Fairleigh Dickerson University where I am pursuing a degree in Computer Science. In my free time I enjoy learning to play and playing various instruments like the piano and electric guitar. I also have a strong interest in games. I’ve been playing games since I was a child, and it is something that brings me joy. Whether it’s video games, card games or board games, playing games helps me connect with others in a less stressful way. My reason for joining Christopher Cares Inc is my brother Christopher (The organization’s namesake). I feel I can relate to others who have family members who are autistic and hope to be of support to the families and individuals within my community.

Octavia H was raised in Passaic, NJ but has resided in Clifton, NJ for almost 20 years. Her interest in non-profit organizations began over 10 years ago when her best friend became an advocate and founder of an organization for Teen Dating Violence. When that organization dissolved, she felt a void in serving the community and realized she still yearned to help others in need. As a Registered Nurse for over 20 years, she connects and advocates for individuals when they are most vulnerable. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling to different countries and learning about other cultures. She hopes by being a part of Christopher Cares Inc she can bring compassion and joy to the families within her community. Her motto is “It’s a Blessing to be a Blessing”.

During my downtime I enjoy sewing and cooking. I believe in treating others as you would want to be treated and never forgetting what goes around comes around.

Christopher is truly a blessing to my life as well as the lives of our friends and family. He has taught us so much about what it is for one who is on the spectrum of autism. It is because of my grandson Christopher that the organization was created, and we are able work together and give back to our community.

Hello, my name is Tatiana P. I am a mother of 3 beautiful children, a licensed Esthetician, Massage Therapist, business owner, & Passaic native. Helping others brings me joy and knowledge intrigues me. I’m constantly learning from my children, my clients, and life in general. I love to learn about the functions of the body and skin and share that information with others to help them live a better life.
Autism is one of those things I have limited knowledge and experience with and that’s one component to why I was drawn to this organization. When you know more, you can do more and Christopher Cares is an opportunity for me, and others like me, to learn about autism and the ways it can shape an individual, family, and community. It’s an opportunity for me to grow as an individual and share new knowledge with others. It’s a way to bridge different groups of people within our communities and help however we can. I am honored to be a part of this organization and am excited to see how it impacts everyone around us.
