When Juana Avila and her family moved from Mexico City to Waukesha a decade ago, she lived in fear.
Every time someone came to her door or the phone rang, she was afraid. She was too scared to even go the grocery store on her own.
“I didn’t understand the language or the culture,” she said. “It was very difficult. My husband was the only one who spoke English when we first came here. I couldn’t even help my kids with their homework.”"*
