Keeping our families safe.
Enough is Enough!
| |
|
Members of this community have had enough and want the security to go for a walk without fear of violence.
Leaders of organizations and members of the community that belong to zip code 92805 marched with the family of Juan Carlos Reynaga. He was a victim of gang violence and murdered the night of July 8th. Juan's brother said that since his brother's death, many families have been afraid to let their children play outside.
For several months, families had been active in attending city council meetings voicing for better lighting and active police watch to avoid what just happened. Their biggest fear of losing an innocent life in front of their home was a high price. Juan Reynaga's family is accompanied by organizations such as Madres a Madres, which in addition to better lighting and safer streets, are also demanding better vigilance from the authorities. "We are demanding that the city of Anaheim work to bring more security to our young people, that the gangs be controlled, and that they are not a risk for the young people of this community," said Josefina Jimenez a mother and LHA promotora.
If you would like to donate and help the family of Juan Carlos Reynaga please visit their gofundme account.

Back to school with our Children and Youth Engagement Department | |
|
As children, youth, and families transition back to school after a long summer break- this month, our Children & Youth Engagement (CYE) Department partnered with different schools and organizations to help our children and youth have all the back-to-school necessities. We also had the opportunity to inform the families about the services they have available in CYE and at Latino Health Access. In these efforts, we distributed over 400 backpacks, along with essential school supplies: highlighters, mechanical pencils, notebooks, composition books, color pencils, crayons, markers, and rulers.
Thank you to our partners for this impactful opportunity, to get our youth and families ready for back to school. Special shout out to: Davis Elementary, Madison Elementary, Willard Intermediate, Garfield Elementary, Willard Intermediate, Delhi Center, Diamond Elementary, and Samueli Academy for partnering with us to get students ready with the necessities for back-to-school.

Community Volunteers & Student Interns
| |
|
Latino Health Access supports volunteer and internship programs that provide growth and learning opportunities to high school and college students, community volunteers, and company employee resource groups.
Students are involved in education or training programs designed to provide them with professional experience in furthering their education, a sense of community service, and the social skills to complement their academic journey. Our interns are given the platform to work directly with our programs and provide them with exposure to the real-world community needs and the work ethics needed to kickstart their careers.
LHA works with corporate volunteers to give back to their neighboring communities and is a way for their employees to build camaraderie around a fulfilling mission.
We have a role for you; please reach out to us and see how together we can help bring health equity to all communities.
Fill out Volunteer Interest Form on the Latino Health Access website or contact our Volunteer Coordinator bcervantes@latinohealthaccess.org

Name: Nayeli Inzunza
LHA Department: Emotional Wellness
Two fun facts about yourself:
1. I enjoy going to the beach and making smores over a fire with my loved ones.
2. I love plants and taking care of my plant babies.
What you love most about Latino Health Access:
A couple of things that I love about LHA are how friendly and welcoming everyone is, how dedicated and supportive everyone is of the Latinx community, and how much the Latinx culture is embraced. Another thing I love about LHA is that it provides me, as a first-generation Latina, to learn about ways I can assist my community, meet amazing people, and listen and attend to the needs of my community.
