Con la llegada de los Acuerdos de Paz en 1996, la familia recibi\u00f3 una peque\u00f1a parcela de la Uni\u00f3n Europea y estableci\u00f3 una finca de caf\u00e9 en Chimaltenango. A la edad de diez a\u00f1os, ya trabajaba al lado de su padre, cultivando la mayor parte de sus alimentos. A pesar de las dificultades, logr\u00f3 asistir a la escuela gracias a la herencia de su abuelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pero en Guatemala, la educaci\u00f3n no era una garant\u00eda para un futuro mejor. A sus veinte a\u00f1os, se vio obligado a aceptar cualquier trabajo en mercados y granjas, ganando apenas 130 d\u00f3lares al mes. &#8220;Siempre quisimos tener una casa, comprar un auto. As\u00ed que luchar por una vida mejor en Guatemala fue dif\u00edcil&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En 2019, le dijo a su familia que necesitaba irse. Su hermano menor ya hab\u00eda emigrado a Chicago, pero fue detenido por el ICE y deportado. &#8220;Lo que finalmente me impuls\u00f3 a irme fue mi problema con el alcoholismo. S\u00f3lo necesitaba un cambio para m\u00ed y aprender nuevos oficios\u201d, reconoci\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

En su mejor momento, lleg\u00f3 a ganar $400 diarios, con propinas incluidas, pero esos trabajos eran inestables. Con la llegada de la pandemia por el COVID-19 perdi\u00f3 su horario fijo, y para 2022, estaba trabajando en la informalidad para una gran constructora percibiendo $25 por hora, por debajo de la mesa. Cuando su salario baj\u00f3 despu\u00e9s de impuestos, volvi\u00f3 a trabajar como jornalero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dos semanas despu\u00e9s, un ex compa\u00f1ero de cuarto le pidi\u00f3 ayuda para mover maquinaria pesada. Lo que sigui\u00f3 fue un accidente que no olvidar\u00eda: una m\u00e1quina de tres toneladas cay\u00f3 sobre la camioneta de alquiler donde estaba. Hasta el d\u00eda de hoy, no recuerda el tipo de m\u00e1quina, solo el peso y el da\u00f1o devastador que caus\u00f3.&#8221;\u00bfC\u00f3mo pudo esta m\u00e1quina aplastarme todos los huesos de la pierna, pero no el pecho? Dios fue extraordinario. Sigo vivo&#8221;, dijo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despu\u00e9s del accidente, Medi-Cal cubri\u00f3 algunos gastos, pero no la totalidad de la anestesia ni las amputaciones. Esto dej\u00f3 a Jacento con una deuda de $60 mil en facturas m\u00e9dicas. \u201cEs una nueva vida la que tengo ahora. Estoy agradecido de estar vivo y tener el apoyo de mi familia\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Este a\u00f1o tambi\u00e9n ha sido dif\u00edcil para \u00e9l: en julio, su padre falleci\u00f3 inesperadamente en Guatemala. Ahora, pide dinero en la calle Misi\u00f3n para ayudar a su hermano a pagar el alquiler y cubrir sus necesidades b\u00e1sicas. A pesar de todo, su meta sigue siendo la misma: ir a fisioterapia, adaptarse a su pr\u00f3tesis y, un d\u00eda, volver a trabajar.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1568%2C1045&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1568w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2000%2C1333&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/072025-JACENTODAYLABORER-ET-PU-23-1-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jacento B., de 35 a\u00f1os de edad, con una fotograf\u00eda de su padre que guarda en su tel\u00e9fono.
