I came from my country, fleeing because we are afraid that they will hurt my dad again. I don’t want it to happen to him again.
We suffered through violence where we lived. We don’t want to return because it’d put us in danger. The same is true here. I wish the people of the United States would help by opening the border, because I don’t feel safe here either. It’s frightening.
The hardest part of living here is being shut in for a long time because of the fear that they will hurt us again. The people who assaulted my dad told him they had people everywhere. I’m very afraid that they might find us.
I miss my animals a lot. Where I’m from it’s the countryside, and I had my horses, chickens, pigs, and dog, which is the one I miss most. We could only sell a few things because the bad people took everything and wrecked my house. We can’t go back because it’s not safe, either for us or for my dad. We had to hide in fear throughout the whole journey.
In the future, I want my family to be well and safe. I want to study to be able to help my parents when they’re old, and I want my dad to be able to forget what they did to him. Don’t use the pandemic as an excuse to keep us out. They say the light’s green (low COVID rates) here in Nogales, and there’s still no response, and we’re in danger here. Thanks so much for listening to us. Hopefully soon you’ll have a response for us. Please help us. Raise awareness and hear us.
