Scope and content
Kathy's family is originally from Haiti. Her mother came from Haiti 20 years before, for years before Kathy was born. At that time, transportation between Haiti and the United States was not expensive, so many families sent their children, hoping that they would become rich and send money back to Haiti. Kathy's mother worked for the sister of the man who would eventually become her husband. She then moved on to work on her own. Two years later, her mother's sister came from Haiti. They lived together, and her mother supported her sister. Over the years a number of family members have joined them in the United States. Joshua is not exact sure when his family came to the United States, but he thinks in the 1980s. His mother, his grandmother and his aunt left Columbia to come to the United States. His grandmother and his aunt went back to Columbia, however his mother stayed.
