Perez, a resilient 12-year-old in grade two, lives under the care of his paternal grandmother and receives additional support from his hardworking father, a motorcycle rider. After his parents' separation and his mother's remarriage, Perez's father has taken on the responsibility of providing for him and his siblings. However, the financial challenges stemming from his father's limited and unstable income, as well as the grandmother's modest resources, have made it difficult to fully cater to the family's needs.
These struggles have greatly hindered Perez's access to proper medical care for his persistent skin rashes, a condition that significantly impacts his daily life and academic performance. Despite his potential, Perez's health challenges have taken a toll on his ability to perform well in class.
