Our Trip Took Almost Four Months
It took
almost four months
to travel
from Honduras
to here.
We lived in Mexico
3 months.
My mother worked in a soup kitchen
to make money
to cross the Frontier
(Borderlands).
Then we left for the Frontier.
Others joined us.
We traveled in buses.
Then we walked.
The journey through the mountains
was
the
most
difficult.
They did not always feed us.
It rained every day.
It was horrible.
Then
Thanks to God…
…we are here.
I only ask that we leave
[the family detention center]
Soon.
With my mother.
for New York.
Family expects us.
