Doors & Windows
For years, I carried the grief of the daughter I had never been allowed to hold.
Valentina became my reason to live.
I waited tables during the day and studied at night. When she slept, I made bracelets, bags, and small accessories to sell online. At first, I received only one or two orders each week.

Six years later, I bought our first house.
Ten years later, I owned stores across Mexico.
