THANK YOU, Senator Menjivar & Buffalo Bruces

A well-deserved and well-attended event, "BBQ & Bills". The Sylmar community came together over a warm plate of food to discuss legislative updates and have an open dialog on our community needs and concerns.

I'm Vivian. I'm Sophia's mom, and I'm the founder of Sophia's Angels.

When a child is ill, the parent is ill too. When Sophia was ill, a doctor explained everything in detail, and my heart was too broken to hear the words.

I can't tell you what's right for your family. Every family's journey is its own, and I can only share what worked for mine.

What I can tell you is that a hug matters. Holding a hand matters. Listening matters. That is comfort, and it is love.

You are amazing and you are not alone.

You are amazing and you are not alone.

Vivian Hartman calls the parent who stays beside the child — tracking what happens day and night, reporting what a child can't say — "The Watcher."

Vivian sat beside her own daughter, Sophia. She names the loneliness of it plainly.

Sophia's Angels offers a free parent course, available online:

Eighteen years of asking before anyone said yes.

Vivian Hartman petitioned California politicians for eighteen years before she found a sponsor. In 2023, AB 847 — Sophia's Act — passed both houses and was signed by Governor Newsom. It extends eligibility for pediatric hospice and palliative care past age 21 for those determined eligible before 21.

Sophia Francisca Hartman was her daughter. She lived a year and one week after her diagnosis.

Vivian's view is that the work is unfinished: it expands eligibility but carries no fiscal support.

Exhausted doesn’t even come close to describing the fight of cancer and leukemia on the body, mind and spirit. Sophia's Angels is here to share coping techniques to relax and take a breath… like the aroma of orange essential oil. Add some lavender and remember your beautiful self. You are strong, your body is working hard to heal. It’s ok to do nothing and rest during this time. Ups and downs and all around. Each moment is just that… a moment. you are amazing.
