Mom of the Month: Angela Noe Nominated By: Angelica Almanza In Angelica’s words: “My mom sacrificed the comfort of her own home, her husband and caring for my youngest brother during his senior year to be by my side. I was in a bad car accident 3 years ago that left me unable to care for myself for over 18 months. She not only lovingly cared for me (34-years-old) when I couldn’t, she cared for my 3-month-old son, 12-year-old daughter and … Read more →

"Walls Crashing In" (Crystal M's Blog)

Well it’s been awhile since my last blog, and so much has been going on. I recently moved back to my hometown of San Antonio, TX. I have been away from my family for 6 years and I’m trying to readjust to living with my siblings again. I love them but since I’d been gone for so long it’s been hard. I come from a family of five and right now I’m staying with my two sisters and my stepfather (after … Read more →

Ok, the truth is that I actually DO think I SHOULD know how to cook, not because I’m Latina, but because I’m a mother.   I don’t know how to cook, not well anyway.  I don’t cook.  I used to.  My mother said she never taught us because she didn’t want us to get burned or “hurt”.  I remember one time making an attempt to learn.  What I wound up learning is that my mother has NO PATIENCE.  I think she feels that … Read more →

“Life Is Not Easy…But It’s Worth Livin’” (Crystal M’s Blog)

It’s about to be 3 in the morning and I can’t sleep. So I decided I’d let a few things out in this blog. I’m 25 and on October 2nd 2010 I lost my mother. She was my heart, my soul, my reason for striving to be better at everything. But now I find myself lost, angry, frustrated, bitter, but most of all confused. Confused because I never imagined losing her so soon, I mean, I know we all have to … Read more →

“Los Pobres” (Nancy’s Blog)

I grew up poor. Hell, who didn’t? I was raised by a single mom (and hell, who wasn’t?) who at times held down three jobs, but still had to donate plasma to get food on the table. People try to romanticize poverty, make it seem almost fun: “We didn’t have much, but I never noticed because my home was just SOOO full of love and happiness!” That’s a bunch of bullshit. I got plenty of love, but there is still nothing … Read more →
