Where did Dr. Mayra Fernandez get the inspiration for her successful parent workshops?
As a child, she dreamed of a better life—not just for herself, but for all children. That dream became her mission. Today, as an educator and advocate, Dr. Fernandez empowers parents with tools to help their children thrive: nutritious and delicious meals, loving and logical discipline, and brain-and-heart-based skills tailored to how children learn best.

Now, in a post-COVID world where children and parents alike are struggling, Dr. Mayra is more determined than ever. But she can’t do it alone. She needs your help to bring her life-changing workshops into more schools—so that every child can dream, grow, and succeed.

Southern California witnessed heavy rains this past year.  We struggled. Mother Nature felt badly about it and rewarded us with beautiful flowers which Mayra shares. Mayra dedicates this video  to her cousin, James Yuhas, Sr., her favorite veteran who fought in Korea for love of country at age 17 (yes, he lied!). PTSD was his reward.
