Lilianna’s Bakery, located in Hanoverpark IL, is where Martin Perez spends most of his time. Here, he makes bread, cookies, cakes and a combination of Mexican pastries.
Perez makes Conchas, a Mexican sweet bread, that is a popular breakfast item. Customers will line up outside the bakery in the morning to purchase fresh Conchas.
Inside Liliana’s Bakery, it feels as if you have stepped inside a bakery located in Puebla, Mexico. With brightly colored pinatas hanging from the ceiling and authentic Mexican candy being sold, it really brings out that feeling of being back home for so many customers.
For many students, just like Carlos, college would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the dream act. DACA has opened up so many opportunities for undocumented children, and without it, they would not be able to continue on to higher education after high school or even find a reliable job.
