I wanted to get back in the work force, but it was so hard.

I work in the city many hours a week. I'm barely home, but when I'm home, I want to rest. I just feel that if they can't control the noise with the small [parking] space they have now, how am I going to be certain that they can control it when it's bigger?

This is what our Lord did for us. This is a time for spiritual renewal and Easter means so much to me.

It was so horrible. I've never been through one, and I don't want to go through another one.

I have to force myself. Sometimes I forget and it's like, 'Maria, you're not doing nothing. You need to say something. Say something to your team.' Then I'll remember and then it's OK and we'll get going.

There's an effort to force them out to more remote locations, which are much worse for the people they're trying to help. They're far removed from jobs and services that people need.
