How are you involved in the community?
Amisha has been a member of the MOMs Club of Heathrow for 20 years. Moms offering moms support is extremely important, and the club is a great way for new moms and families to get acquainted with Heathrow.
What is your favorite part about living in the neighborhood?
We have made lifelong friends here. Block parties, neighbors helping neighbors and a real sense of community are some of the reasons we love living in Heathrow. Before and after Hurricane Ian, neighbors were helping each other to prepare and then clean up. We love that our street comes together both in celebrations and in times of need.
We love to see our local families highlighted each month in Stroll Heathrow. We love to see the community and local businesses represented in this magazine.
Heathrow is a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
