Currently, Ibelia, her father, her brother, and her husband are living in an apartment in New York City. With the money that they have sent back, they have been able to support the rest of their family in Ecuador, including sending some of her siblings through school and purchasing a land which they are developing for their retirement. The entire New York branch of the family gathers for church services, picnics, family milestone celebrations such as first communions, birthdays and anniversaries. They frequently face time with their family in Ecuador and often send gifts back and forth such as clothing and culturally specific foods (guinea pig!). ibelia has tried on multiple occasions to gain proper documentation, but has been unable to for multiple reasons that she does not wish to be discussed.
