Our Journey: 8 Days in a House
On our journey from home to here
We stayed
8 days
In a house.
Locked up.
They gave us breakfast and lunch.
20 people
Including children.
We suffered much.
I had no money.
My son cried.
He did not want
To
Be
There.
We left in a truck.
We spent 30 hours
In
The
Trailer.
We were desperate.
We could no breathe.
We arrived at Reynosa.
We
Waited
Three Days.
They took us to the River.
El Salvador is my home.
