Cornelious leads Dorcas Ministries in raising money, help struggling families

Rev. Dr. Rose Cornelious is the woman that helps make it happen.

"I have a passion for marginalized people, for people who are struggling," said Cornelious, development director of Dorcas Ministries. "I have a passion for women and children around the world, especially little girls.”

"We pay for childcare," Cornelious said. "We help people with rent, utilities, tuition, medical costs all sorts of things.”

"My first time coming here, they paid my rent for like a month, which was way more than I was anticipating," said Chenet Homer, a former client.

"It’s not just paying a bill. It is also giving you more resources to hopefully better your situation," Cornelious said.

"I have been to about 27 countries. I have been to the nation of Haiti 8 times alone," Cornelious said.

"She never wants to be recognized, but she’s also always deserving of it," said Veronica Bent.

"To me, she is not just the epitome of a strong black woman, she’s just a strong woman in general," Homer said. "I think any woman can look at Rose and see that she sets a good example of doing good within your community.”
