Tiffany

Tiffany is a single mom of five children living in Oakland. She is a passionate advocate for improving childhood education.

“When I found out my 11-year-old has autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, I became a little bit more active. I believe there should be no kids left behind. [They] deserve to get an education and to feel safe. I believe in standing up for kids.”

“I paid off a couple things, so my credit is going up. UpTogether made me feel like I'm not the only one in a hardship in life that has goals… It's… a motivation for me. Other people reaching goals, being able to keep their lights on or their house or get their kids (some) school clothes.”
