June 2022 Respect 90 Volunteer Spotlight Award Recipient.

Congratulations Anna Tran on being selected as the Respect 90 Volunteer Spotlight Award for June 2022 and helping Grandma's House of Hope secure a $1k grant!

Anna Tran never asked for help. She didn’t have to. It was always there in the form of family, friends, medical staff and strangers. And it wasn’t forgotten by the youngster with cerebral palsy.

“People willingly helped me and I was inspired by that and with people helping me that way, I wanted to give back,” says Anna “I have always felt I had a duty to help people in any way.”

Anna Tran is an endearing 25-year-old with an infectious laugh and a degree in Psychology from Cal-State Fullerton at Grandma’s House of Hope in Anaheim every week. Anna and her group of fellow volunteers help bag food items as part of the Nana’s Kidz program which provides meals to children living in motels or doubled and tripled up with other families when the free meals at schools are unavailable.

The Respect 90 Foundation was founded by Joe Maddon, the Baseball Manager of the Los Angeles Angels and his wife Jaye Maddon. “The volunteers are the unsung heroes. Without them, none of our efforts occur.” Every month, the Respect 90 Foundation will salute a distinguished volunteer from the communities of Tampa, FL, Chicago, IL, Mesa, AZ, Southern California, or Joe’s Hometown of Hazleton, PA. Respect 90 will present a $1,000 grant to that volunteer’s charity. Should you have someone who is deserving, please let us know." - Joe Maddon
