My name is Ines Cruz and I come from Veracruz, Mexico. I came to this country with a lot of dreams. I wanted to work or study. Once I arrived here everything changed because I did not know English and I couldn’t find any job.
My husband came here one year before me and one year later I arrived with our four children. After one year I became pregnant again and gave birth to my fifth daughter.
The first 10 years here where very difficult for me because I had to provide for my family and became very ill. Now I have recovered my health and all my children have grown up and are independent. I can now focus on myself and also contribute to my household with this business.
I am very happy and grateful for this opportunity and will work very hard to make the most out of it.
