Like many DACA recipients left in the dark waiting for their DACA and work authorization renewals, and many left without financial income for months like myself, I stand here kindly asking for assistance to make ends meet, including providing for my two Corgis.

I am grateful for friends and colleagues who have graciously and selflessly assisted me during this challenging time; especially Vanessa Fuentes and the District 2 team who have been a blessing every step of the way.

I look forward to going back to what I was called to do and enjoy doing most - listening to constituents, mitigating concerns, and helping improve the quality of life of those in my community and city.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
