                         Tuesday, May 13, 2025

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
contributions that Krystal Martinez has made to our community through 
her work with New Beginnings Youth Shelter which serves homeless kids 
aged 10-17 who are between foster homes, abandoned, or homeless. The 
whole team jumps in to take care of the kids that have no one else 
looking out for them. They teach kids structure, respect, understanding 
and so much more in a loving environment. The team really cares and 
each member is deeply invested in the kids' long-term success.
  It is clear Krystal Martinez has made a profoundly positive impact on 
our community, and I am grateful for her service. May we all strive to 
serve our communities with the same dedication and humility.
