Debbie Jimenez Debbie Jimenez is a Florida native, born and raised in Ocala, but now lives just outside the city of Boston, Massachusetts with her husband, Frank Jimenez. Debbie understands and has a passion for the needs of domestic violence survivors and their children. She herself was a child who survived the early death of her mother, who suffered greatly from manic depression and bipolar disease, and as a result took her own life at the age of 31, leaving behind a husband and four young children. Growing up with such great loss caused emotional struggles for Debbie, who is also a survivor of domestic violence suffered in her previous marriage. While living in Ocala before her marriage to Frank, Debbie joined the fundraising committee for The Centers, a private, non-profit organization providing children and adults from every walk of life with inpatient, residential, and outpatient mental health and substance abuse care. Playing a role in organizations like The Centers and now FCADV gives purpose to Debbie’s past experiences and allows her to satisfy her passion for those who struggle first-hand with similar hardships. Her life has presented some roadblocks and hurdles along the way, but thanks to the unending support and encouragement of her husband, family and friends, Debbie is fulfilling her dream of going back to school to complete a bachelor’s degree in English and History, and hopes subsequently to complete her master’s degree. Debbie and Frank are the proud parents of a new baby girl, Righley, and also of Darby, a female golden retriever, who has great plans of becoming an ambassador for FCADV.
