For 15 years Sister Ellen Lamberjack has been striving to bring hope to immigrant working families through Project Hope-Proyecto Esperanza, which she founded in October 2006 in response to a need for legal immigration services for workers in northwest Ohio. The one-person organization has grown into a staff of six, serving immigrant families and meeting humanitarian needs by responding thus far to immigrants from 59 countries. Besides being a partially accredited legal representative, Sister Ellen generously spends her time and love for the immigrant people by serving as the director and overseeing the grant writing for Project Hope-Proyecto Esperanza.
