The city being in the process of taking possession of their house for a new bus line through eminent domain is not only effecting the Ramirez home but many homes around the community. The possibility of their home being taking within the next two months adds more insecurities to the family. Being an advocate for the family in this issue will be helpful for the family to focus in other issues that are going on in their home. Having a backup plan is always necessary and if preventing the possession of the home by the city impossible a housing referral needs to be made. Again DDS has a housing assistance program that the Ramirez family can be qualify for. Providing the family with an application to the program will be an assistance and a guide to set them up to be empowering themselves. The third priority issue the social will address is getting assistance to Maria with her son Marco and employment. Marco was diagnosed with autism at age 4 and now is no longer in school having Maria “overwhelmed.” Maria has lost her job and her medical insurance. The first thing will be getting Marco evaluated by a doctor to make the decision of what care is appropriate for him. Having the communication with Marco primary doctor will be important. Maria stating she does not know “what to do with him” confirms her unknown knowledge of the resources in her community that can be a help for her. There has been previous investigations that has strongly imply that mothers with
The Sanchez family is the typical Latino extended family that you find in most neighborhoods. The mother, Celia Sanchez doesn’t speak much English she’s mainly surrounded by people who speak Spanish. As a Latino mother she’s very religious attends church and participates in church events where she gets food as well. Since Celia’s English is limited this was an impediment during school conferences and other situations that she has faced. Celia wants to apply for food stamps, but her husband Hector doesn’t agree and is completely against it. I kind of understand where Hector is coming from being the man of the house he feels that he needs to provide for his family and thinks he’s responsible for
In this case study Helen has autism and the speech and language therapist is able to work very closely with Helen’s parent. Every child’s parents know their child better than anyone else as they are with them 24/7. However Helen can only be helped to a certain extent, not every parent will have the same amount of time to care for their child.

In Ramirez’s view, economic need creates “interdependence and closeness.” In the barrio, when you are poor, which most of the residence are, you will do anything to help your family out, even if you are a kid. Children in the
Enduring hard times. The Sanchez family clearly demonstrate various levels of difficulties while trying to purse you a life in the United States of America. It was not the typical American dream that so many immigrant families anticipated when they landed on this great continent. Therefore, food, income and employment are some factors that were cause for concern.
As a parent, learning that your child has developmental disabilities can be a life altering moment in time and can cause a devastating chain reaction of events. These events have the potential to change family priorities and structure, hurt relationships, deplete financial savings and stability, and emotionally drain everyone intimately involved with you and your child. How do you find human services programs, agencies, or advocates, whose primary job is to help you provide everything your child needs? It certainly can be an overwhelming barrier, but it's the first step in giving you, your child, and your family a plan of action, goals, success, good mental health and bringing everyone back together.

CCIB LPA Perryman-French received a call from the neighbor. The neighbor had been observing that Piah Ramirez has about 4 infants (under the age of two) in her care. She often leaves them unsupervised in the front yard. Once, one of the children went out the front gate with their parent following them, and into the street.

Chicano written by Richard Vasquez is a novel that shows how the American culture affects the Mexican society as well as many other societies in our community. The Sandoval family migrates into California knowing that they have a chance to start their lives over and they want more than what Old Mexico had to offer. America is into consumption, and the Sandoval family was bombarded by it. They were aware of the fact when they arrived in America, but in Mexico they were not aware of the other cultures and traditions out there. The Sandoval family was content with what they had in Mexico. But upon arrival they realized that the more they step into the American culture, the more they want.

On the 9th of December of 2014, I attended a San Jose City Council meeting in the council chambers in the San Jose City Hall. The topic of discussion was the issue of affordable housing in San Jose. There are nearly 5,000 homeless people in San Jose. There are thousands more on waiting lists for affordable housing, some using more than 50 percent of their daily income for rent, or in danger of losing their homes. Homelessness impacts our community, our environment, and our homeless neighbors. Addressing the issue of homelessness is a constant battle between respecting the rights and also meeting the needs of the homeless individuals. This was continuously brought up during the City Council meeting. The members were discussing the
This paper presents a case analysis of Richard Ramirez, the serial killer of the 1980s better known as “The Night Stalker”. Using the qualitative method and content analysis, the findings reveal that the law enforcement procedures were minimal because of the technology available during that time and the prosecution was sufficient because of the criminal justice system.
You would think the average family is both parents living in the same house and everything is fine and peachy. You go away with your family on vacations, you go to family events together and you all and all you have a good time together. In my case my family is nothing like the typically american family, my family has had a lot of problems. When i was about 10 years old in 4th grade my dad stopped living with me, my mom, and my sister. Before this happened the reason my dad left was because he found out my mom was cheating on him. At the time my parents were already having problems. My sister's sweet sixteen was coming and the day before her party my parents had a huge argument. They were fighting about money, my dad was freaking out
