Barbara Ochoa first got involved with MDF about 7 years ago when she and 2 of her 3 kids were diagnosed with DM1. She is excited to be a new support group facilitator for the Southern California Regional Support Group, with Rose Albanese. Outside of her time working with MDF and supporting her children, Barbara spends her time reading and collecting books, and spending time on her family’s farm, where they have just about every animal imaginable.
