Notes: Juana has been raising Marvin ever since he was born. Marvin is her brother Nelson’s son. Nelson works as a police officer. Marvin was diagnosed as deaf-mute at 6 months old after having meningitis. He has a hard time reading lips so he does not communicate too well. Jairo is working as a security guard with 24 hours on and 24 hours off. Juana sells beans and watermelon out of her house for a little bit of money. Nelson gives a very minimal amount of money very sporadically for Marvin. She doesn’t ask him for money for him because she has taken him on as her own son and doesn’t expect handouts from her brother. Marvin now attends a school in town for deaf and mute children. It is free and a bus picks him up. Juana gave off the impression that she is a very professional, almost elegant woman who is very on top of her game. Marvin is very cute with bright shiny eyes.
