The Cores Foundation Members
We all have different backgrounds, but we all share the same vision.
Rosanna Narvaez
Rosanna is the President & Founder of The Cores Foundation Inc. She was born in Bronx New York, with a rare disorder known as Setleis-Syndrome. At the age of 12 she moved to Florida. Growing up she always had a good heart, because she knew what it was to be different. Her first experience with helping a homeless person was when she was 9, since then she knew this was her passion and purpose in life.
In 2024, One of her partners introduce her to the Orlando area where the homeless population was at an overwhelming high. After meeting several homeless people, she realized that majority of them had mental illness or was elderly. Thats when she decided she wanted to help make a difference.

Diana is the Vice President of The Cores Foundation Inc. She was born in Humacao, Puerto Rico and moved to Florida when she was 7 years old. She always had passion helping others. Especially single mothers, after she experienced financial hardship trying to make ends meet and not receive help.
