Real estate broker and Ms. Millionaire Mindset Academy founder, Roberta, once lost a $10,000 check, a setback that turned into an unexpected positive. Elmer Alvarez found the check on the street, realizing its potential to change his life. Instead of cashing it, he sought out its owner, leading him to Roberta.

Roberta, recalling her own past as a homeless teen mom, resonated with Elmer’s story. Inspired by their shared struggles, she’s now helping Elmer rebuild his life. She secured him housing, covered rent for seven months, and enrolled him in real estate school. Together, they’re working on a selfless project—a transitional house for struggling youth, drawing from their own experiences.

Elmer, having overcome homelessness, will advise young residents in the completed house. This remarkable journey from a lost check to transformative collaboration emphasizes the power of empathy and second chances.
