Hi there! I wanted to pass this along in case there's some Vietnamese members and PG&E customers who can be surveyed for about an hour in exchange for $100.
There are times when families are unable to care for their loved ones. This is when becoming a Family Home Provider can make a big difference in someone’s life. Do you have an extra bedroom and a heart for helping others?
Melba Castellano is a Family Home Provider. She and her partner, Domingo DaRosa, opened their home to two gentlemen with developmental disabilities. Both Melba and Domingo’s families emigrated to America, often needing the support of others to help them build successful and happy lives. They feel blessed, and wanted to give back to those less fortunate in their community. Melba states that even though there can be difficult times, she and Domingo have experienced love, trust, and appreciation in return for opening their home to others.
Enriching Lives is a Family Home Agency which certifies members of the community as Family Home Providers to provide care and supervision to adult Individuals with developmental disabilities such as Epilepsy, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual Disabilities, and Traumatic Brain injury. Family Home Providers receive a monthly stipend and can serve up to 2 Individuals in their home at a time. Family Home Providers come from all different ethnic backgrounds, education, neighborhoods, and family constellations. They receive an initial week-long orientation, on-going continuing education and professional support. The most important quality of a Family Home Provider is a commitment to the well-being and personal growth of the Individuals they serve.
Ronda Gardner had been a foster parent for many years before becoming a Family Home Provider for Enriching Lives. She has cared for 6 Individuals with developmental disabilities since joining the program. Ronda states that they share meals together, attend community events together, and many of them have attended church with her. “ I would recommend becoming a Provider as it is a good way to help someone else, and to offset the high cost of living in the Bay area at the same time.”
Enriching Lives has a need for all types of caregivers, and a special need for bi-lingual homes that speak Vietnamese and Cantonese – as well as homes who are familiar with American Sign Language. Family Home Providers also need to have average computer skills.

Melba Castellano is a Family Home Provider. She and her partner, Domingo DaRosa, opened their home to two gentlemen with developmental disabilities who wanted to experience a loving and caring home. Both Melba and Domingo’s families emigrated to America, often needing the support of others to help them build successful and happy lives. They feel blessed, and wanted to give back to those less fortunate in their community. The Individuals they serve - Josh and Juan - both came from difficult pasts and after living in different types of care settings asked to live in a Family Home Agency where they could experience life in a family environment.
