Family Situation
Rosalia is the second of three children, she was born into an intact and economically stable family. The sudden death of her father in an accident at work changed everything. Because the family didn’t have life insurance, his death left the family in misery. Rosalia’s mother took over the house and the debt that her husband had with the bank. She does not have a salary because she is busy with work around the house. The lack of money makes it extremely difficult for her to support three children. Rosalia’s older brother left to study because of all the economic problems and her younger sister will be in the 9th grade. It will be impossible for her mother to be able to pay for the children’s education
