Oscar and Mireya and their daughter Melanie, 13 months, stay
at their temporary home in the basement of a Church. They left Brownsville,
Texas in November 2004 in search of work. When Oscar's van broke
down in St. Charles, near Rochester, the family decided to settle
in the area. Though working full time as a welder earning $11 an
hour, Oscar finds it difficult to save for a mobile home he would
like to buy.
