“I have friends, school, and family here in the United States... To this day, I don’t know what we did wrong to be detained... I feel like I’ll never get out of here. I just ask that you don’t forget about us.” -Gustavo Santiago, 13 years old

I have very few photos from my life before I arrived in America. At some point, I had a picture of my sisters and me when they visited Honduras after my first child was born. But when I started working in America, someone robbed me and took my pocketbook where I had the photo. That loss didn’t keep me from having a good life here though.
