Estela is a single mother of two 13-year-old boys and a 7-year-old girl. Trying her best to provide for her family, she currently works long days and nights. Thus, she relies heavily on the oldest to take care of the household and his sister. Unfortunately, when it comes to school she isn't able to do much to helpdue to time and that Spanish is her second language. She came here for better opportunities for her family.

Ramirez Family
The Ramirez family are from the Dominican republic. Both parents are working but stand with their children and try to help with what they can pertaining to school when they can. Both kids are eager to learn and succeed however resources to help them are hard to find and they don't know where to access information that can help them.
“We want both of our kids to go to university but how can we help where do we start. It's hard enough to try to read the forms.”
