My name is Fabiola Muñoz; I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and have been in the United States since 1981. I have been a special education teacher for the past 15 years. I am currently teaching at Bright Horizons, a public school in Broward County, Florida, for children who are severely handicapped. I love what I do, helping children and adults with disabilities is my mission in life and I owe this to my wonderful brother Norberto. Norberto is 31 years old and has Down’s syndrome. I traveled to Argentina in February and brought my brother back to Florida with me. He is on a tourist visa which will expire on July 4th. I have contacted my congressman, governor, senators, etc. and nobody has been able to help me. I do not know what else to do. Please help me keep my brother in America! Read the full article...
