Marta Portillo
My granmother Marta Portillo came from Guadalajara Jalisco In 1962. She was a nurse for a very long time but grew tired of her job so she came to America searching for a new life and to start over. She had to go through many obstacles to get to America. All she had on her mind was beginning a new life. The way she came to America was by a coyote which is a person who smuggles immigrants across the border. She later found her husband and had her first child. -
