Elsy Villafuentes, gerente de Defensa Familiar, hab\u00eda conocido a la familia a trav\u00e9s de su trabajo en Head Start y los reclut\u00f3 para unirse a la comunidad de Rocketship. Ahora, Isabella estaba inscrita como una kindergartner pr\u00f3spera.<\/p>\n<p>A pesar de luchar contra la insuficiencia renal, la madre de Isabella trabajaba dos empleos para mantener a su familia como madre soltera. Inicialmente la incluyeron en la lista de trasplantes de ri\u00f1\u00f3n, hasta que su estatus migratorio forz\u00f3 su eliminaci\u00f3n de la lista, un golpe devastador para su familia.<\/p>\n<p>La llamada lleg\u00f3 el 30 de septiembre. La abuela de Isabella se comunic\u00f3 con Elsy con noticias desgarradoras: su hija hab\u00eda sufrido una serie de derrames cerebrales y fue declarada con muerte cerebral. En esos \u00faltimos momentos de conciencia, la madre le hab\u00eda hecho una petici\u00f3n espec\u00edfica a su madre, sabiendo que necesitar\u00eda ayuda: \"Haz que Elsy te ayude\".<\/p>\n<p>Elsy entr\u00f3 en acci\u00f3n de inmediato, recurriendo a sus 18 a\u00f1os de experiencia apoyando a familias como trabajadora social en Milwaukee, visitando a la familia en el hospital mientras la madre de Isabella permanec\u00eda con soporte vital.<\/p>\n<p>Con el apoyo de sus m\u00e9dicos, los abuelos tomaron la valiente decisi\u00f3n de dejar ir a su hija el 4 de octubre. Lo que sigui\u00f3 demostr\u00f3 el poder transformador del enfoque centrado en la familia de Rocketship. La familia enfrent\u00f3 desaf\u00edos abrumadores: costos funerarios, arreglos para el cuidado de los ni\u00f1os y el complejo laberinto legal de la tutela para inmigrantes indocumentados.<\/p>\n<p>Elsy ayud\u00f3 a la familia a acceder a la p\u00f3liza de seguro de vida de la madre, los conect\u00f3 con el programa de asistencia para entierros del condado de Milwaukee y organiz\u00f3 una campa\u00f1a de GoFundMe, reduciendo los costos del funeral a solo $150 por un servicio peque\u00f1o pero digno.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras la familia avanzaba valientemente, el mayor desaf\u00edo surgi\u00f3 al ayudar a los abuelos de Isabella a obtener la tutela: a pesar de tener permisos de trabajo, se les dijo que necesitaban un ciudadano estadounidense como tutor o tutor suplente.<\/p>\n<p>Sin un tutor legal, Isabella no pod\u00eda acceder al seguro m\u00e9dico. Elsy naveg\u00f3 por esta pesadilla burocr\u00e1tica mientras brindaba apoyo a la ni\u00f1a en duelo y a sus abuelos. Conect\u00f3 a la familia con los Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers para servicios de terapia mientras los ayudaba a obtener apoyo legal.<\/p>\n<p>Los desaf\u00edos legales parec\u00edan insuperables: un abogado cotiz\u00f3 $8,000 para los procedimientos de tutela, un gasto imposible para esta familia. Elsy orquest\u00f3 un equipo de apoyo legal pro bono. Complet\u00f3 ella misma la documentaci\u00f3n inicial y utiliz\u00f3 sus contactos para la revisi\u00f3n legal y el apoyo continuo a trav\u00e9s de Kids Matter, un abogado de inmigraci\u00f3n de Catholic Charities y Wisconsin Legal Aid.<\/p>\n<p>Juntos navegaron el complejo proceso y presionaron por una audiencia por Zoom para evitar la presencia del ICE en el juzgado. Su audiencia est\u00e1 programada para agosto de 2025 y esperamos que los abuelos sean nombrados tutores legales de Isabella.<\/p>\n<p>A lo largo de esta terrible experiencia, Isabella mostr\u00f3 una resiliencia notable. Elsy informa que ella nunca quiso faltar a la escuela, encontrando consuelo en el amor y el sentido de hogar que Rocketship le brindaba. La comunidad escolar se uni\u00f3 en torno a ella, y muchas madres ofrecieron apoyo adicional al enterarse de la p\u00e9rdida de la familia.<\/p>\n<p>Esta historia ilustra la filosof\u00eda de Rocketship: apoyar el logro estudiantil implica apoyar a las familias. Ya sea conectando a las familias con servicios de salud mental u organizando grupos de apoyo, Rocketship sabe que las relaciones transformadoras crean un cambio duradero.<\/p>\n<p>Como explica Elsy: \"No queremos simplemente enviar a las familias un n\u00famero y decir 'll\u00e1malas'. Queremos construir relaciones transformadoras\". Si bien la historia de Isabella es un ejemplo extraordinario, ejemplifica c\u00f3mo Rocketship va constantemente m\u00e1s all\u00e1 para apoyar a sus estudiantes. El enfoque hol\u00edstico de Rocketship crea una red de seguridad integral para ayudar a las familias a superar cualquier desaf\u00edo, manteniendo la educaci\u00f3n en el centro de los futuros brillantes de sus hijos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Isabella&#8217;s mother joined Rocketship as a founding family member, she was already deeply committed to her children&#8217;s education, with her older son enrolled first and now thriving in high school.
