- About me:
- I currently run four facilities for developmentally disabled children. My facilities are 100% funded through Medi-cal and because the budget isn't signed we are on the verge of closing. I am trying my hardest to make it through but it seems hopeless right now.
I also have four children of my own. They take up alot of my time and I just want to be a better parent. I am scared that my children will go the wrong path and just worry about them. I currently live in Upland and have family in Mexico and LA.
