Presenting Situation

Ms. Reyes is a 29-year-old single mother of two children (ages 4 and 7) living on the east side. She has not been able to keep the children's well-child checkups for six months due to no vehicle and bus route gaps. The family relies on school meals; the summer gap has left them food-insecure.

  • No personal vehicle and limited bus access
  • Missed pediatric well-child visits for 6+ months
  • Food insecurity during summer school break
  • Single-parent household
  • Children ages 4 and 7 – developmental monitoring needed
