"My mom fell from the stairs her hip really hurt and she was getting therapy. She is paid $140 every week so her friend would take her to Fresno to see a doctor." --Ofelia Ibarra
FM89's series My Valley, My Story features first person stories from people throughout the San Joaquin Valley. This week KVPR's Diana Aguilera visits London, an unincorporated town in rural Tulare County with a population of nearly 2,000 people, to find out what it’s like to get sick when the nearest hospital is about 30 minutes away.
OfeliaIbarra, a 17-year-old girl who’s been raised in the fields, shares her family’s story with us. Ibarra describes what her mother had to go through in an effort to see a specialist after she was injured while working in the fields.
