Leticia

Leticia is a single mother from northern Virginia who suffered a traumatic brain injury, spinal injury and other injuries due to an accident. Since the accident, Leticia has been on a long journey from the hospital to an assisted living environment, to a shelter and now back into housing. Due to her injuries, Leticia has mobility and administrative skill difficulties, a visual disability and other challenges.

The Eric Fund purchased an iPad for Leticia to stay on top of bill paying, keep up with daily activities, medical care and case workers she coordinates with, including those that have moved their services to apps and online platforms for transmitting information and communication. With services going digital during the pandemic, the equipment has become essential for Leticia and her family to maintain activities of daily living, coordinate services as well as medical care and equipment, and help with her child’s education. Leticia said she thanks God each day she was able to survive and get back to being a Mom to raise her child. The Eric Fund is honored to provide this equipment for Leticia to help her and her family navigate the next steps of their journey.
