About the Family: Mercedes is a lady that has been faithful and very connected with everything that Alive2Love has always done. She sells candy and chips to support herself when she’s not working as a maid. Jose Alfredo started school this year and because she couldn’t afford to send him here in San Pedro Sula, she had to take him to Santa Barbara, her hometown, so he can live with her family and go to school there. Santa Barbara is about 2 hours away so she only sees him once every couple of months. Even though he is too young to attend, Brandon is always around during the Classes because he’s so excited to be able start being a part of the group when he gets a little older. You can tell by the way he looks at all the class projects that he wants to be a part too. He wants to be able to go to school and have a brighter future.
