On the corner of 7th Street and San Pedro in downtown Los Angeles, 23-year-old college graduate Chynna Lloyd remembers what its like to be homeless as a child. Lloyd had attended nine schools by the time she and her undocumented mother moved into a shelter for domestic violence victims. Lloyd was only 9 years old. An afterschool program known as School on Wheels changed her life after giving her a tutor named Katie.
"To be that voice," Lloyd said about what she wanted to do with the degree."Because a lot of people I've known who worked in public health, they haven't seen this life. They haven't even understood or seen some of these hardships." "Currently we have 163,000 homeless kids in Los Angeles County," said former Miss USA and School on Wheels ambassador Rima Fakih Slaiby."That is not an easy number to take in."

Back-to-School Vaccination Event Held in San FranciscoWith school starting back up, San Francisco families on Saturday showed up at a health clinic in the city’s Bayview neighborhood to get their children vaccinated or caught up on different vaccine requirements for school. 'Requirement'? F THAT. Get out of public schools. stopmandates Where is the adverse data? VAERS disappeared when the children were approved. Why?
