'They're vulnerable and they need an adult, so I became their adult.'
The eldest sibling of the Rodriguez family was only 17 years old when her mother and father died from cancer. Now 21, she's spent the last few years providing for her four little sisters and her little brother as no one else in the family has the means to take them in.
Now, Destiny, 7; Bella, 9; Michael, 12; Brenda, 15; and Milagros, 16, look to their eldest sister to not only provide for them, but be their role model as well. "When we lost her, I knew that I wanted to be just like her in every way," she added."That's what I wanted to do for the kids." "They showed us not to take anything for granted. That's something I try to teach the kids," Samantha Rodriguez said.
