Our story
Rodrigo is a 15-year-old Hispanic male. He lives with his mother, father and older siter that is a single parent to two children. Rodrigo lost his brother to gang violence, his brother got shot while passing by their home and died immediately about 4 years ago. Beside the trauma of losing his brother, Rodrigo became homeless on spring of 2023. Rodrigo and his family lived in a car, motel rooms, used friends’ house to shower and finally with assistance of our case manager (Stephany Ornelas) they rented an apartment which they barely afford to pay the rent. Rodrigo and his family struggles with poverty. Rodrigo has intellectual disability, challenges with understanding complex sentences, directions and used limited words to respond. Rodrigo had bxs and sxs of anxiety, depression, anger, aggressive bxs including physical aggression when came to attention of Aviva to receive treatment. Rodrigo is afraid of losing their apartment again and becoming homeless. The trauma of being homeless increases his anxiety and decreases his focus and attention to enjoy daily life activities and focusing on schoolwork. Rodrigo’s mother has occasional job as cleaning person for homes. Rodrigo’s father gets minimum wage for his job at carwash or any other job that he affords to do. Family has less than minimal of living appliances to live with. Case manager is assisting them with Low-income housing program to benefit from after they approve them. This program includes a long process which may not accept them due to constant freezes in the program due to lack of government budget and financial support. Rodrigo had a cell phone to contact Thp or call for emergency when needed, however, due to not being able to pay for his phone bill, he lost his phone. Since they moved to this new apartment, they need all the basic home essentials. Rodrigo and his family would benefit greatly from basic home essentials, especially food and clothing, which would help with day-to-day expenses.
