We have a Spanish-language weekly we publish here and a couple of wonderful Hispanic reporters that cover life in that community. The story ideas they produce are always issue-based and consequential, which makes the assignments very rewarding to photograph.
This one was about a community health worker who was trying to help families sort through the bureaucracy of the medical system. The husband in this family had fallen from a tree while working and sustained nerve damage that nearly crippled the left side of his body and prevents him from working. Their family had to send money to the U.S. to help bail them out, usually the money goes the other direction.
