About Frutoso Robledo
Frutoso Robledo is the Parent Support person at Houston Elementary School.
His door is a portal into a safe world for parents to share their joys and share their fears. Once parents cross his “portal,” there are some rules because that trust can’t be broken.
“I tell my parents this room is like Vegas - what’s said here, stays here!” Robledo said. “This is not a place for “chisme”- no place for gossip!”
Robledo is a “problem-solver”.
Sometimes he teaches parents how to navigate systems - whether they are financial, academic or cultural. Other times, he takes the wheel and navigates for them. The number one need is helping families find housing. That one is closely followed by helping families stay fed. Then, there is the huge need for medical care. Austin is a rather expensive city, so Robledo is always looking for resources for his families.
“In the evenings when I clock out, my mind doesn’t clock out and my heart doesn’t clock out. At the end of the day I pray that I did my best and that God gives me the strength to do it all over again tomorrow.”
Because his door, his puerta - that beautiful portal, is always open.
