Meet Yared
Yared, affectionately known as "Redd," illuminated the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. His radiant smile, heartfelt laughter, and warm embraces created lasting impressions that transcended momentary interactions.
With an extraordinary gift for recognizing the worth in each person, he consistently went above and beyond to brighten others' days—whether it be by sharing his last dollar, calling at precisely the right moment, or simply offering a joke when it was most needed.
His generosity knew no boundaries, and his compassion extended particularly to those overlooked by society. Yared possessed an unmatched ability to see people for who they truly were rather than their circumstances, approaching everyone he met with genuine acceptance and care.
This remarkable capacity to connect with others on a profound level, coupled with his unwavering willingness to help anyone in need, forms the foundation of the values we now strive to perpetuate through our work.
