Samson and her children Eujon, 3, and Brian, 13, have made a porch of sorts
in the garage of their temporary home. After several hours of calling and
being put on hold, Samson has finally reached a live FEMA representative.
Since she has gotten incorrect information before, she’s not sure
whether to trust the answers she’s hearing. “Don’t get
me wrong, I know they weren’t ready for this [disaster],” she
says, “…but to me, they’re dragging their feet. We’re
not asking for a handout. We want what we deserve as people.”
