In The Country We Love
Text z Príbehu
- Hello my name is Diane Guerrero. And this is my story.
- One day I came home from school, and I found out that my worst nightmare has occurred. My parents were deported.
- 14 years old
- After that time I had an insight where I realized that a lot of children of undocumented immigrants are not taken care of because they fell through the “bureaucratic cracks” of the US government.
- MÁMA! PÁPA!
- In one irreversible instant — in the space of a single breath — life as I’d known it was forever altered…
- After my parents were snatched away, no government official checked up on me. No one seemed to care or even notice that I was on my own
- It’s not easy for me to be so open about what happened in my family, especially after spending so many years hiding in the shadows. I’ve really struggled with putting my business out there.
- So why am I choosing to reveal so much now? Because on that afternoon when I came home to an empty house, I felt like the only child who’d ever dealt with something so overwhelming.
- And in the agonizing years that followed, it would’ve meant everything for me to know that someone, somewhere had survived what I was going through.
- For the thousands of nameless children who feel as forgotten as I did — this memoir is my gift to you. It’s as much for your healing as it is for my own.
- Wow
- That's crazy.
