The Guerrero-Vega Family	The Guerrero-Vega Family (pictured here at the 2008 HAN) is a lovingly large family where Luis and Edith have a daughter and four young sons. After moving to Canada from Mexico in 1998, the family was soon met with some difficulties when their vehicle was stolen and they were forced to move apartments. Since they’ve moved into their current three-bedroom home, they have been subjected to rent increases every time another family member is added to the residence. All three boys share one room while mom and dad sleep with one of the babies.
