I know what it’s like to be without food or money and I appreciate Gilbert for having a resource like “El Mercadito” so much.
There were times during which my mom had no money at all. Just seeing her ask my older brothers for money or her friends, it was an eye-opener. This is real life, and my mom’s “soltera’ (single mother) ‘ because my dad got deported. Ever since, he hasn’t came back. But my mom is both mom and dad. She does her best to have a hot plate ready for her kids when they come home.
There are a lot of struggles in life I had to go through and I see my mom’s stress and it inspires me to do MORE. I know there are other people and families who are like mine and I want to help them to know that they are not alone.
