Jose and Lupita showed me the power of commitment

My parents came to this country as young adults and settled in Pomona as new parents. Their story is representative of countless immigrant parents in Pomona. Parents that despite immigration status, language barriers, and financial hardships are committed to building a better life for their children. Their faces and stories are unknown to the general public and community because of long work hours, but their commitment makes Pomona what it is: a place to grow and thrive.
