Edward Willis and Paulina Lopez have four children between the ages of 1 and 8. When they lost their income due to the pandemic, they faced themselves in a desperate struggle to make sure their children had food to eat and a place to sleep each day.

Willis: We met in Pomona, grew up in Pomona, kind of bounced around due to us still being young and we were still with our parents until [we were] around 17, 18. And we’ve kind of been on our own ever since.
