“Welcome to the best family in the world, where we all support and love each other … “You have a long journey ahead of you, but take advantage of every moment that you are part of the program. Even for those of us who have graduated and maybe moved on, we know we can always come back here, to our home and our family,” encourages Araceli Rivas, owner of Live Life by Design and former Acompaña participant. Araceli, among other Prospera community members and program graduates, joined in celebrating the newest Acompaña cohort that began in mid-October 2025.
