Cuando se perdió la mochila
For Oscar, life was good. Living and working with his cousins in Dodge City, Kansas, he was living what one might call the American Dream. After many years Oscar finally received his permanent resident card (green card), and opened a business, a house-painting company. The work was steady and honest. In fact, it was so constant that Oscar was looking to buy a new vehicle to support the business. He was offered a truck at an incredible price, but he would have to travel to San Antonio in order to pick it up. What should have been a quick 2-day trip, turned into one of panic when Oscar lost something he had worked so hard to achieve.
Michelle was also living a good life. She and her husband, Marcos, were living in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Michelle and Marcos worked hard - she was a delivery driver and he was a restaurant manager - in the hopes of bringing the rest of the family to live with them in New Mexico. Marcos is originally from Mexico and had two daughters who still lived there with his mother. What the couple lacked, however, was the money needed to secure a lawyer to help with legal paperwork. On one particular trip to San Antonio, though, Michelle’s luck seemed to turn when she found a large sum of cash - a perfect solution to her problem. Or was it?
