Melissa--15 yrs old
Melissa observed us interacting with the little girls which earned us her trust. She shared a lot: her mom's knee is immobilized in a walking cast due to an injury she sustained working in the fields. So Melissa is worried about Mom (Evelyn) who may need surgery. Melissa's dad abandoned the family a few years ago, and he's behind in child support payments. Fortunately she has a great stepdad who really cares about her. Since he was working in the fields, he didn't attend the social.
