Answer:
ravis came up to us as we parked our car in the small coastal town of Rosarito.
He was selling lollypops to make money to feed his family. Instead of giving him money Katie gave him food and as always, started a conversation…
Travis, as it turned out, had lost his wife to cancer recently and was now trying to raise his 7 and 10 year old sons alone.
He needs surgery on his knee but can’t afford it. Now, unable to work in construction like before, Travis is selling candy rather than just begging for money.
Travis grew up in California. At the age of thirteen, or so his story goes, his own father was the one who gave him his first heroin, and a gun. He soon became a drug addict, ended up in a gang and eventually got deported from the US.
He is now living with his in-laws and trying to raise enough money every day to buy food for the family. He says he has been clean for years and is proud that he is not, as many of his friends, involved in drug dealing.
