Like many of his compatriots, he and his family reached the U.S. border after passing through the Darien Gap, a notorious 66-mile stretch of roadless jungle connecting Colombia and Panama. “It was hell,” he says. “A lot of people die in the jungle from drowning, disease, attacks.” He recalls seeing a Haitian boy drown in a river after falling from his father’s shoulders.

  • You have to choose to have hope. Hope isn’t something given to you and it doesn’t fall from the sky. It may help to have someone or something to fight for, but ultimately you are fighting for yourself and those around you in your life.

But you have to fight. It’s the only way through, to keep going even though it’s hard, until you find happiness again.
