Who is Maria from My Bloody Life: The Making of a Latin King and what is their importance?

Maria lived in an apartment with her teenage daughter, and two of her daughter's friends. All four of the women had a reputation for being willing to have sex with anyone who would get them high. Maria had sex with Reymundo when he was fourteen-year-old. It was Reymundo's first time, and it amounted to sex abuse. Maria later regretted her actions and allowed Reymundo to live with her when he was homeless. She acted as a mother figure, making sure he had food, a bed and even registered him in high school.
