roof overour heads if we wanted anything else we had to get out and work for it, my brother
carried groceries to cars at the local grocery store just to be able to buy snacks for his siblings

from trying to recruit his younger brother by standing up to them only to be beating and
thrown through the local grocery store window were carlos and my brother went to try to
make some money, when my father found out of the gangs threat carlos was about to finish
high school and was sent to the military by our father, carlos was always a A student and my
father knew he had a bright future ahead of him. My brother Carlos is loved by everyone he
meets neighbors, strangers he can spark a converstion with anyone and make a new friend, he
likes to have at home barbegues were neighbors, friends, Church family, as well as immediate
family were always welcome and treated like royalty my brother loves people around him it
gives him joy seeing everyone happy and enjoying the food and beverages- Carlos has always
been a hard worker top sales or promoted quickly he is smart and always told you could run a
company by yourself joking by co workers. My brother knows i am a single mother raising three
children and my car is vitalto me he never let me be without transportation always offering to
