My name is Luz Aguilar and I am the mother of 5 children: 3 girls and 2 boys. When I was 25 I left Guatemala since my husband left me and I decided to move to California to provide my kids an opportunity for a better future.
For years I cleaned private houses until one day I got employed as a cleaner for a furniture company. While working there I suffered a bad injury caused by an accident on the workplace, which ultimately left me with a partial disability and incapable of continuing my work as a cleaner.
With the reimbursement accorded by the court, I decided to open my own shop and become a small entrepreneur to keep supporting my family.
