Alejando Barcenas

I was born in May 15, 1941

I was not able to go to school in my country, my parents sent me to work in the fields.  As an adult I went to a night school.  One day in 1980 I made the decision of coming to this country.  Time passed I worked hard and I brought my wife and my 4 kids. I have a total of 5 kids, but one was born here in March 18, 1986 - she is already 18 years old.  The other 4 that came from El Salvador are American citizens as well.  When they became Citizens I thought now that they are citizens I should be too.  Finally, thank God and to my 5 kids I became American Citizen.

I don’t work anymore, I got disability for life because of different health problems, I started with a Diabetes in 1991, I got 3 blocked arteries in my heart, I had a heart surgery so far I have been taking medicine, but I don’t know what is going to happen to me.  I support myself with Social security.  I hope your project helps for a better future.  I will pray for God to help you and for him to help me too.
