'It's about what you've given back'
Do yourself a favor and spend a few minutes watching the remarkable acceptance speech of Jamie Leach after she was presented with the Ohio REALTORS 2018 Excellence in Community Service Award at the recent Annual Convention & EXPO. It embodies the selfless dedication and commitment to making a positive difference in the community.
Leach, who was nominated by the Wayne-Holmes Association of REALTORS, is associated with Marinello Realty and founded Lolo's Ark to provide free clothing and other necessary items to area foster parents – allowing them to focus their immediate attention of helping comfort the child that arrive in their home.
Since its formation, Lolo’s Ark has provided foster families with clothes, baby equipment, diapers, shoes and supplies. Funding for Lolo’s Ark is derived from donations from the local community, notably from her broker, Amy Marinello with Marinello Realty. Other local brokerages, mortgage and title companies have helped raise funds for the organization.
