"I came from Peru in South America, and I chose Fort Wayne because it’s a good city to raise your kids when you’re a single mother," she said.  The cost of living is low, she added, which allows her family to live comfortably. "It’s a cheap city, so you don’t have to be in a scary neighborhood and have two jobs so you can pay rent," she said. "It’s also a small city so it’s nice to go from place to place easily."   Patricia (right) with her friend and co-worker Kathleen Martinez.  The benefits and battles of school choice What do school vouchers mean for low-income families and kids with special needs?
