Erica grew up in a children’s home in Tijuana and entered the Mentor Home with little understanding of the opportunities available to her. Today, she is thriving in dental school, where she recently completed her first semester with good grades and an academic scholarship. She has also begun her first formal job at a local coffee shop, gaining valuable experience and independence. Erica is growing in confidence and now dreams of becoming an excellent dentist, supporting her family, traveling, and building a life of her own.
