VY-Their+Eyes+Were+Watching+God+and+Me

Being poor is something that i experienced alot. In Colombia sometimes we wouln't have any rice to eat. When my dad would get mad to my mom he would leave and not leave any money for food. Then one day he asked me to go check if we had any food. He knew that we didn't, but he still asked me, so thats why my mom got so mad at him. He send me to buy some rice because he saw that my mom was getting real mad. In my country is hard to buy food, especialy eggs. If u want to buy some eggs they will sell them to u but only one at a time. They don't sell them by dozens. So now we really value our food. And when i have the aportunity to give food to someone in need i do because i know what they are going through.

Before coming to California we were ganna live in Florida. So we were trying to live there but it was too hard. We were living in some apartments in Miami Beach. But one month we didn't pay the rent because my mom didn't work, so when we got there all of our things were outside and they even changed the locks of the apartment. One of our uncles that lived there with his wife let us stay in his wifes house. His wife would make us clean the house though, we only did it cause we didn't have anywere else to go. Its hard living in Miami. Now i know how it feels to not have a place to go. So when ever someone needs a place to sleep my house is open to anyone that needs a roof.

When we moved to California we found out that this was a cold place. In Colombia is pretty worm and in Florida, well right there is so hot. So we didn't really have that much sweters. We couldn't afford any new clothes because when ever we had any money, we would use it to buy food or to save, so we could get out of the shelter and get an apartment. Good thing that in the shelter some people would donate clothes that they didnt use any more, along with there sweters. So now everytime i don't need clothes or something i always go and donated to the shelter thats were they need it the most.
