The Angelina II

Angelina was born in Moscow, Russia. After graduating from university, she worked as an economist. In the early 1990s, she won a green card lottery, and moved to the United States to make a new life for herself.

"I am glad to have an art studio here where I can be creative."

She began to participate in JASA programming 11 years ago, and became an even more active participant after moving into the JASA Brookdale Village Affordable Senior Housing Campus. 

"Living at the JASA campus is so helpful! Living here, I learned to paint, play the guitar, and so much more."

This necklace is handmade with love and care by JASA seniors. Treat yourself today and support older New Yorkers!
