Hope in a SuitcaseErnesto’s story shows resilience and the importance of family. He entered foster care at 13 and faced many challenges, but remained hopeful. As a young teen, he became a father, which motivated him to seek a better life. After leaving foster care, he experienced homelessness but continued to fight for his future and his children's. He recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and has regained custody of his kids, providing them the stability he needed while in care. Ernesto is passionate about mental health and wants to help other young people and families. In his free time, he enjoys music, journaling, and being outdoors with his children, and he is known for his kindness and drive to create positive change.
Ernesto has custody of his two sons and is facing food insecurity. His CalFresh benefits have been suspended, leaving him without enough resources to buy groceries. He is seeking assistance with food support for himself and his children.
