Daughters lived had they tried to swim out of their houses, the water only got deeper. I would have lost two children and six grandchildren, okay . So like i say, im glad that they didnt remain in the houses. We were abandoned. City officials did nothing to protect us. We were told to go to the superdome, convention zrp, interstate bridge for safety. We did this more than once. In fact, we tried them all every day for over a week, we saw buses, helicopters, fema trucks but no one stopped to help us, we never felt so cut off in our lives.

I had a pregnant 22yearold that is in labor as i speak, you know, im praying for her and her baby, okay .

The most wonderful place on earth as far as im concerned. Im not going back to new orleans at least not now. However, we wont be missed because were not wanted there anyway. I know this and everyone above the age of 18 should k
