What families say

“Being a single parent is difficult,” said Elizabeth Hernandez of Salinas who struggled juggling parenting her two girls, Evelyn (4) and Esmeralda (14). The gap in age between her daughters made it difficult to focus on doing right by them, she admits; that’s when a counselor referred her to Partners For Peace for help.” — Elizabeth Hernandez
