That's what happened to my mother's family, she and my aunt came to the US and petitioned her whole family. Now, my aunts and uncles have their own houses and live a decent comfortable life. They used to be extremely poor (ie., 1 cup of rice a day poor. As in living in a garage that floods 1/2 the year poor). I want to repay that karma by helping poor families here help themselves through a free school that opens up a world of new possibilities for people.
