Victor and Jaqueline are from Guymas, but they met each other here in Ensenada. Victor is 35 and Jaqueline is 17. They have been together for 2 years and they have a daughter, Jenifer who is 11 months old.
They met when Jaqueline was having a hard time, she didn’t have money or a job and she used to have a property that she just had lost. Victor was selling chips on the streets in a small car and Jaqueline approach him to see if he would give her a free bag. Jaqueline explained to him her situation and Victor offered her a job helping him making and selling chips. They worked together for a time and started dating, Jaqueline never told Victor her real age. Time later Jaqueline got pregnant and Jaqueline moms went to talk to Victor and explain the whole situations and asked him to be responsible for the baby. Victor had already a property with a small room where he was living and Jaqueline moved in with him.
The room is very small, is made entirely of wood and a good portion of it is full with the equipment to make the chips they sell.
