| FACES OF THE FALLEN / Alex Velasque previous | back to faces | next |
Alex Velasque is 27 years old and does not have health insurance. He is currently unemployed. His rent is also expensive. Right now his wife is studying to be a medical assistant in hopes that this will enable them to have a better life. This, however, is proving to be quite challenging since her school is expensive. Her classes will cost a total of $18,000. This family has no health care, no living wage job, and education is coming at a high cost. The name changes, but the story remains the same.
