A lot of my family is homeless, so we'll have to make accommodations for each other, ... We're grateful to the Red Cross for the help we've gotten here. |
Our son is a first respondor and had to stay back in New Orleans and do search and rescue, |
Right now, it's too little too late, |
The storm had not hit yet, but we had expected to come back after it went through, |
They were playing Lil' Wayne [a popular New Orleans hip-hop artist] on the radio when we drove into town, ... They are treating us better than our own people. |
This is a lawsuit dealing with what we believe is an unconstitutional funding formula in the state. |
We are the victims, but we've got to help ourselves, |
We could be in serious doubt if we get a lot of rain between midnight and when the stewards make a track inspection in the morning. |
We don't want to give up and we do want to go back, |
We have too many of our people going to jail, |
We were in the attic before we were rescued, ... At that time, the shelters were segregated. |
We worked harder than I've ever seen. |
We're just so blessed, |
