Maria works the 6am shift. Her kids eat at school but dinner is a gap. She qualifies for help she's never applied for. Her landlord raised the rent and she doesn't know her rights. Her neighbor Ana has food, legal connections, and time to share — but they've never met. Their alderman hasn't fixed the streetlights he promised eight months ago.
Everything on this platform was built for Maria, for Ana, and for the neighborhood they share. Follow their story through the four pages below — or start with whatever you need right now.
