Life
took a fateful turn for troubled 18-year-old gang member Juan Reyes
when a fatal car crash took the life of his single mom Micaela Reyes.
The loss left Juan as the surrogate father for his 10-year-old brother
Elfego, who was critically injured in the accident. Elfego spent months
in the hospital recovering. Brother Juan vowed to stay with him for
every minute. He slept by his side. When the time came for Elfego to
leave the hospital, Juan was granted the awesome responsibility of caring
for his Down Syndrome brother. The high school drop-out had found his
purpose. He left his troubled past behind. He was now a dad.
