Selvy
Selvy Somasoundirapille was born in Mexico, and she has been living in Minnesota for 7 years. She is the primary caregiver for her 22-year-old daughter, who lives with IDD. As an immigrant navigating the United States system with a family member with IDD, she has faced numerous challenges. Understanding the processes has been particularly difficult for her and her family. Selvy is a 2024 University of MN LEND Fellow and she would like to prepare herself and gain knowledge to be able to better assist her Hispanic community.
