The first day I was at the center without Yvette and Fred, I did not understand.
I had a fear that paralyzed my emotions.
Staying at the Center with four kids, I did not understand how life would be without them around.
As days went on, Fred and Dr. Appoline came to visit us.
They understood my fear of staying alone.
They helped convince the children to respect the sanitation measures and created home activities to help keep them busy.
We don’t know when this will end and sometimes I feel insecure, but the cooperation and sympathy of the team have resurrected my hope. They are always calling me and asking about the center.
Stay hopeful, wash your hands, and keep social distancing.
