LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Many Latino families in the Las Vegas Valley are getting a unique chance Saturday to connect with help they may not know exists.
A free event is encouraging fathers and sons to speak up and ask for help.
The event, hosted by Somos Votantes, is called ‘Que Padre’ and its happening at the Boulevard Mall, Saturday.
The goal is to break a common pattern common in many Latino households, where fathers often feel they need to handle struggles on their own without asking for help. Somos Votantes organizers are working to connect Hispanic fathers with groups like the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, Chispa and Chicanos Por La Causa.
“We’ve been hearing a lot of, you know, the need to help navigating the current immigration climate as well as like they, they deal with a lot of stuff with like tenants and everything like that,” said program manager for Somos Votantes, Angel Lazcano. “So like housing has been a big issue that we’ve been hearing about, so having them here is going to be really amazing.”
The Que Padre family resource event is happening Saturday, July 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Boulevard Mall.
