Nine Years

Jose Madero, migrated from Tunkas, Mexico, to Los Angeles, to give his family a better life and build a house in his hometown. A picture he took in Los Angeles of the house he wanted to build his family back home.

Jose's wife, Raquel, would send pictures of his children to Los Angeles while he had been away for nine years. A picture of daughter, Carolina, whom he had never met for nine years. Madero said this is his favorite picture of Carolina that Raquel sent him.

Now that Madero is back, he works in the fields for his father to make money. They grow corn, pumpkin, watermelon and harvest honey. Jobs are scarce in Tunkas and he makes enough to help his family out.
