Holiday wish list brings needed gifts to some LAUSD kids - Here's how you can help
and you can help tooFifteen-year-old Mission High School student Ana Escobar has never had a Christmas tree or opened a gift on Christmas. Her dad works seven days a week as a mechanic, so she will spend the day with friends.Ana and her father send money back home to Honduras, where her mother and little sister still live. The pair came here a year ago in search of opportunity. They share a room in a two-bedroom house. Nine other people live there.
Ana is a student at Mission High School in San Fernando. It's a continuation school. The majority of kids aren't here for behavioral problems. Dulce Reyes missed a lot of school because she and her mother were homeless, living out of a car, an abandoned building, or if they were lucky, a motel.For the third year in a row, the education advocacy grouphas put together Amazon wish lists for Mission's students and their families.
