“I’ve had a very positive experience receiving Medi-Cal and CalFresh. These programs have helped me beyond my expectations by making sure I have access to the healthcare and food I need. Because of this support, I’ve been able to focus more on my education, extracurricular activities, and preparing for my future career. Growing up as a first-generation, low-income daughter of immigrants, I struggled to consistently access healthcare and nutritious food, so having these resources now has been life-changing. It’s given me a sense of stability and relief to know my basic needs are being met. I’m truly grateful for the support, and it has made a meaningful difference in my life.”
