Jimena Sarai Diaz Melendez 

12 years old / 6th grader / Blanca’s daughter

She is a student who likes to go to school and when she is at home helping her mom with house chores.


The house where they live was originally a kitchen but they have lent them the room in the meantime. But the place is in bad conditions, it has leaks through the roof and it's a small space.
