When he first arrived in the United States, 14-year-old Felipe Matos liked to go to the supermarket after school just to walk the aisles.

"There was so much food! I would just look at the milk -- there's like 50 types of milk!"

Miami, Florida, was a world apart from the poor neighborhood in Brazil where he was raised by a single mother and older sister. Now 24, he recalls "lacking everything" at home in Duque de Caxias, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.

Some good national media attention, we need more of this....

I see myself in Felipe a little bit =)
Our stories match in quite a few places.

Sad, sad, sad. I hurt so much reading these stories. We need justice..
