Hay un cartel de una tortuga en el refrigerador, un espejo con un marco de tortugas, una tortuga que sostiene el salero y el pimentero, muchas flores que crecen en macetas con forma de tortuga y peque\u00f1os cuencos con forma de tortuga distribuidos a lo largo del poste que sostiene la barra de la cocina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A la familia le vendr\u00eda bien contar con material aislante para la cocina y con materiales para cubrir las partes del techo donde hay goteras, dijo Valeria, pero sus oraciones m\u00e1s fervientes son por la hija de 17 a\u00f1os del matrimonio, a quien le diagnosticaron leucemia en febrero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todos los hijos nacieron en Estados Unidos. Los dos mayores trabajaban en Arizona, pero, tras el diagn\u00f3stico de su hermana, uno regres\u00f3 a casa para trabajar y ayudar a mantener a la familia. Aun as\u00ed, no alcanza para cubrir los alimentos, la electricidad, el agua y la hipoteca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los hijos no quieren que Valeria y su esposo salgan de casa porque no saben qui\u00e9n los cuidar\u00eda si los detuvieran o deportaran. De hecho, explic\u00f3 Valeria, antes de permitir que su esposo lleve a su hija en autom\u00f3vil a sus citas m\u00e9dicas, revisa las luces de freno, las direccionales y la calcoman\u00eda de registro del veh\u00edculo. No permitir\u00e1 que una infracci\u00f3n menor provoque la separaci\u00f3n de su familia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Reportaje de Cindy Wooden.
