This Nicaraguan family claims to be living unimaginable times
Richard Chamorro explains that since they arrived, they “sleep in the street at the Government Center”.
“We don’t want to be like that anymore, it’s hard, some days we swim some days we don’t, we’re there and some crazy guy came out who owned the park and we didn’t want to come back, we’re still there every day. three,” says Adilia.
“I have two brothers in prison because they are members of the opposition, the police came and attacked my mother’s house,” says Chamarro.
They have been wandering downtown Miami for two months looking for shelter, work and a plate of food amid changing weather conditions.
“It’s very difficult there are people who leave us food. The cold, the sun, the rain poured down, it is very sad and difficult. Yesterday it was still very cold, with cardboard we took shelter, says Adilia.
“I tried to scream because I don’t want to be like that, I don’t want my family to be like that,” Chamorro says. While Adilia adds: “that they can help us where to be, a job and one with a job, and one who works can rent something”.
In the midst of the dark days they have lived through, they also say that they have known the love and mercy of many people, such as Martín Navarro, a helpless man who supports them.
“Even though I’m still on the street, let them off the street, because they are very humble and good,” Navarro says.
“He brings us food, soft drinks, something he brings us every time he comes,” Adilia says.
Katrina Croveto, the teenager who lives on the street with her parents, says: “a bit sad, I can’t say terrible, but sad, because I’ve never been on the street, I’ve always had a roof over my head and I slept in a bed.”
Although the hours pass slowly, faith and hope for a better future are the main course of this humble family.
“We had a lot of faith, every day we pray and give thanks for the good and the bad we have been through,” they say.
