Ashley - Home

It is not the brick buildings filled with furniture.
It is not the materialistic possessions within.
People asked: “Why are you going back when everything is destroyed?”
The response: “Because I am going home.”
Home cannot be replaced.
It is something that you fight for
And for New Orleans, we have definitely fought hard.

Ashley, 16
