Deborah Meza, a single mom of three children in San Ysidro, doesn’t know how she will be able to pay the rent that was due this month.
Meza said she has gotten some help from the nonprofit South Bay Community Services after her son’s school, San Ysidro Middle, referred her. The nonprofit has helped pay her electricity bill and rent, and now they are helping her find financial aid for her daughters’ college tuition.The Mezas are one of many families struggling to survive during a coronavirus pandemic that has only worsened long-existing poverty.
Meanwhile three-fifths of parents of school-aged children in the survey reported difficulties with distance learning last school year and about one in five parents said their children did not have regular access to a digital device. Torre said schools in San Ysidro, South Bay Union, National City and San Diego Unified have referred more than 1,300 students to South Bay Community Services since the start of the school year — students that the schools were unable to track down.
Many families still lack reliable internet access, Little said, even though his school distributed about 50 internet hotspots, because several kids could be using the internet at any one time for distance learning.
Kids in cages are okay under the right leader.
