Growing up Johana was blessed to be part of a family that was able to support themselves and live comfortably. They owned a grocery store and a fruit shop, where Johana was able to work in addition to her second job as a school assistant. When Johana got married, she and her husband had a baby right away. Juggling the roles of mother and worker was a struggle but since joining KNOWN SUPPLY she has been able to achieve that balance.

Johana,

For Christmas, my daughters gave me a winter hat that you made-red, white and blue. It is beautiful and warm. I am wearing it when I take our dog for a walk in cold days. This gift is also special because you have the same name as my sister in law, who died earlier this year of cancer. She was an extraordinary person and I will always remember her when I wear the hat you made.

Thanks you for making this and good luck to you and your family.
