Vilma and her husband Ramon arrived to Nogales after a long trek from their home in Guerrero and an unsuccessful attempt to cross into the United States. Leaving their four children in Guerrero, Vilma was determined to get to the United States so that her children "could have the education that they deserve."
After five days and two shelters later, Ramon was forced to stay on the streets. Vilma however, found the loving care of Casa Nazaret, a shelter run by KBI. Vilma passed two nights in Casa Nazaret. However for these two nights, Ramon couldn't sleep. "I was up all night worrying about my wife." Even the following days in the comedor Ramon couldn't eat. Vilma shared breakfast with the fellow women in the shelter and did not arrive to meet her husband until after the meals. When they did finally reunite after a night apart it seemed as if they had not seen eachother in years. Ramon was on the verge of tears and Vilma, after two warm nights in a comfortable bed, was there to support him.
