Left Alone

By: Emily and Maddy M
Michigan, Grade: 6

Last year our mama died of malaria, and our papa was shot. Now my sister, Maddy, and I are left alone on the streets. We have no family left and even if we did we would have no way to contact them. We walk along the streets begging for food and money. When all else fales we have to steel from local bakeries. If there is someone out there and you would like to take care of two eleven year old girls, wander around the streets of Michigan looking for us.
