Meet Raquel and her family!
Hi! My name is Raquel and I’m a mom of 3 little girls, Penelope (7), Delilah (5), and Adaline (4). I have spent my entire life in the Okanagan Valley. My childhood was spent in a small town called Cherryville, located in the North Okanagan.
I spent 5 years in Kelowna, where I completed my business degree. Once I completed my degree, I decided to take 8 months off and travel the world. Upon returning from traveling, I moved to Summerland for 2 years, then Naramata for 8 months and now I call Penticton home.
After I had my first daughter, I was struggling with postpartum depression. I was scared to leave the house and didn’t know what I should do with her.
When I had my second daughter, my husband encouraged me to reach out and get the help I needed to help with my anxiety and depression.
My husband took time off with me and started to introduce me to activities and things to do with the kids in the Okanagan.
This opened my eyes to what was available and I thought, only if I knew this the first time around!
I would meet parents and grandparents at drop-in programs who were unaware of what there is to do with kids throughout the year.
This is how Okanagan Family Fun was born.
