From what we came from to what we've seen here ... it's like we left a war zone and came to a place that's safe and secure.

Now I never dream of leaving here. Hurricane Katrina wasn't a good thing, but maybe it was God's way of putting us in a better place.

Here it's so beautiful, and I'm here with my baby sister and once again we're a family.

Everyday we were standing in line to get ice and water and there was no gas. You could see fights breaking out over ice -- and one guy shot and killed his sister over ice.

We had one good meal before all our meat spoiled.

It was chaotic. It was a mess.
