Gladis

Gladis is grateful her three children were able to continue working at their respective jobs during this past year of uncertainty. In addition, she feels fortunate to rely on her family to pay monthly rent because her workdays were reduced to only 3 per week.

She came to learn about One Degree in February 2021 when she, unfortunately, tested positive for COVID-19 and was provided information about our services. She used her mobile device to find local food banks to make healthy meals at home. Gladis saw a large amount of support offered, and in her own words, “ there are many people who don’t know about these great programs, and it shouldn’t take someone getting COVID to learn about them.

Gladis continues using One Degree and has connected with Los Angeles Regional Food to enroll in CalFresh, and she’s also filed for Unemployment Benefits to receive financial assistance .
