Nygon told me that she and her sister grew up on the streets of Saigon and her job as a little girl was to look for paper on the street and when night came she and her sister had a pan and water and a little rice. They twisted the paper Nygon had collected all day and would light one piece at a time and hold the flame under the pan until the water boiled and cooked their rice.
Then when she was 12 years old she got a job laying brick. she said this was very hard work.
There she meet her husband and he married her and brought her and her 2 children to this country. Nygon loved working at Tyson and making money.

Wow, what a moving story. I'm glad your friend found a better life.
I guess when we have a
pity party we should just
stop and look around us.
I am glad she found her
way to America.
