David has been through a lot lately. With his father recently deported, his mom is working long hours just to keep the family afloat. In the midst of all this, David helps take care of his younger brother while juggling schoolwork and chores. He’s been dealing with high blood sugar, which is likely a result of the stress he's under. Still, he loves playing soccer and spending time outside, which gives him a bit of an escape. As he gets ready to start middle school in the fall, David is holding on to hope for brighter days ahead.
