Supporting my mom while supporting myself

Maya Escobar's mother was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and could no longer take care of her children.  Worried about her mother and trying to support the other members of the family, Maya started falling behind academically and losing interest in other activities like music.  As her mom recovered, she learned that self-care is essential to taking care of those you love.  Her commentary is on Youth Radio.
