One of Melissa's aunts and her whole family is coming to the United States some time very soon, they won the Peru lottery and got all their paperwork in order and they're on their way to citizenship, it's fantastic. In the last week however a gang that hangs out in the neighborhood where they live has been harassing the two boys - they're seventeen and nineteen.
About a week ago the seventeen year old got shot in the face by an IED shot by one of them, he got lead lodged in his hands and his face and one of his eyes. The doctors aren't sure if he'll regain vision in his eye, but he's coming to the US so hopefully he'll get some quality help here.
The older one got jumped a couple of days ago and got punched once or twice before escaping, and last night a group of ten of the gangsters came at him and a couple of his friends with baseball bats and all that crap.
It makes me so mad when people prey on other people and the authorities won't do anything, it's just real nice that they're coming to Fremont soon. If you're the type please pray for the family, they're the Barrantes and the boys are Frank and Daniel.
