Well, I go to the Parents place and I bring my daughter Tori with me. I  work Monday through Thursdays from 9:00 am to 3:00pm. But on Wednesdays with other students, my children and myself, we go up to see Valerie. We cook, play, and talk. We keep our friendships alive by talking about our problems in stories that we tell each other and everything we say is private. 

    Now I’m not saying that we are perfect mothers, but we are pretty good single mothers. We all have been through everything that single mothers go through. Being lonely, supporting our children, living on our own with no one to help us. That’s why we have Valerie so that she can help us and she has helped us a lot. 

    And we all thank her for what she has done for us; especially me. Valerie helps us so much. She helps us get through the good and bad times. We all care so much for her. We all wish we could do for her what she has done for us. We wouldn’t know what to do if we didn't have her on our backs. Otherwise we all would have gone down the tubes.
