“What impacted me the most was how that community welcomed us despite not knowing who we were and that we don't need all these materialistic things in life to be happy. They taught me that the best memories come from the little things in life and that we should appreciate what we have since you never know who else wishes they had what we do. I was born in Honduras and raised in a similar neighborhood, so I felt that I be able to connect with this family”
