After overcoming homelessness and domestic violence, Marisol Soto made it her duty to help the helpless by offering support and services to Hillsborough County through her new non-profit organization, Guided Path Foundation.
“I know how it is to be hungry,” Soto said.
“Because of my life experiences and being able to overcome all of that, I want to help others and be a guide to help them get out of their situation. That’s why I named it guided path, to let people know that there’s resources out there to help them overcome those obstacles.”
Soto shares during her struggles she was unaware of any available resources, but thanks to her faith in God and help of her grandmother she was able to reach her full potential and make it out.
She is now a paralegal in her last year of law school and felt it was the perfect time to give back to the community because she understand that not everyone may be as fortunate.
Guided Path Foundation is committed to helping Tampa bay thrive by offering education, health, career and entrepreneurship support programs for children and adults specifically in the areas of behavioral and mental health, crisis intervention, legal services, academic tutoring and in-school support, human services/ACCESS, individual, group and family counseling, foodshare, recreational services, HIV prevention and more.
