                  RECOGNIZING JOSELINE TRUJILLO AYLLON

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GUS M. BILIRAKIS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 9, 2026

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
extraordinary contributions of one of my constituents, Joseline 
Trujillo Ayllon, a devoted volunteer with CASA Citrus Abuse Shelter. 
Ms. Trujillo Ayllon works tirelessly--and often quietly--on behalf of 
survivors and their families. She is, in many ways, a ``secret agent'' 
for those in need: a compassionate helper who seeks no recognition, 
only results. Whether securing free theme park tickets to give 
survivors and their children moments of joy and normalcy, or spending 
countless hours listening with empathy and care, she consistently goes 
above and beyond to uplift others. Many of her most meaningful efforts 
are carried out behind the scenes, known only to those whose lives she 
has touched. She is the silent, steady force--the glue that helps hold 
the safe house together--ensuring that those who have endured trauma 
feel supported, valued, and not alone.
  Mr. Speaker, part of what makes our Nation so great is the 
willingness of ordinary Americans to selflessly give back to their 
communities. Volunteerism is a cornerstone of our society and a vital 
thread in the fabric that unites us. Ms. Trujillo Ayllon embodies this 
spirit of service in every sense. It is clear that Joseline Trujillo 
Ayllon has made a profoundly positive impact on our community, and I am 
deeply grateful for her dedication and service. I am proud to recognize 
her as a 2026 Hero Among Us for Florida's 12th Congressional District.
