Childhood Matters features Mission Asset Fund

On January 18, 2009 I was invited to participate in the Spanish version of the radio show Childhood Matters, Nuestros Ninos. Other guests included Merlyn Amaya Gómez (Acorn) Vanessa Muñiz (Earn It! Keep It! Save It! United Way Bay Area) and Teresa García (MEDA, Mission Economic Development Agency). We exchanged ideas and resources with the audience about the financial well-being of families affected by the economic crisis and discussed ways on how to minimize the effect that it can have in our homes.
