Crescencia Reyes is a 52 year old woman who has been living in the United States for 21 years. She is the hard working mother of five children. Crescencia came form the Dominican Republic in the search of a better future for her family. She was married to Cayetano Espinal for 24 years until he passed away in the year 2001 of a heart attack. Since then, Crescencia has been struggling and working hard to take care and provide for her family. This woman is my mother and she has struggled in this country for not knowing the language and although she is a U.S. citizen, she is still facing the acts of discrimination done to her for being of hispanic descent. She has put her childrens needs before hers and has given us the life in which we live in today.
