babies dying front paper toilet
Toilet paper all over the floor. Bodies. Babies dying in front of your face,
wish
I wouldn't wish this on no one. Not what we went through there.
ask movement officer police question ready shoot
You couldn't even get to a police officer to ask them a question because it was like they were ready to shoot you with any movement you made.
baby god gotten home nowhere ready
God has gotten us through this. We don't know where we're going now ... we don't have nowhere to go. We have a baby who's probably ready to go home in another week, but we don't know where that will be,
kept
I think he is the one thing that kept us alive. We wanted to get to him.
money wheels
Everybody's not fortunate. Not everybody's got money or wheels to do anything, to get out.
buses cut kept laid minute night stop thinking walking watched
All night I laid on that ground, in stitches, and watched buses passing. We'd get up thinking they were for us, but they just kept on going. In my condition, I couldn't even walk. Every minute I had to stop walking because the cut was burning.
I don't want to go back to one of those shelters. I've had enough of shelters. I don't want to live like that anymore.
