Ulisa Arreola-Campos had a lot on her plate the day she was supposed to attend court on the charge of driving without a license. The Kansas City, Kansas, teenager had only recently been discharged from a month-long hospital stay after being felled simultaneously by COVID-19 and appendicitis. Her mother was also laid up — she broke her leg in multiple places when she fell on a public bus. Ulisa, a high school sophomore, was trying to manage online classes and help her three younger siblings with their school work as they all stayed home during the early months of the pandemic in 2020. “Virtual school wasn’t going good for me,” she said. “I had a lot of things going on.”
