Jones, who lives on the 4th floor, said most of his neighbors were #Venezuelan & often took turns cleaning the hallway because the property owners did little to maintain it.
“They were cool people,” Jones said as he looked into his next door neighbor’s unit. “They didn’t speak a lick of English, but we used translator apps to talk to each other.”
Jones wondered what would happen to his neighbor’s young #children.

My little daughter Lian’s left eye is swollen due to polluted food and water 💔.
We cannot afford treatment as prices are extremely high.
She urgently needs medicine, safe food, and clean water.
Please help us raise $300 to ease her pain and protect her health 🙏.
Any support, sharing, or prayers mean so much.
“It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. “Even if you’re not a mother, seeing #kids coming out buck #naked & taken from their #mothers, it was horrible.”
Watson said she went into the building to help one of the residents & was shocked by what she saw.
“Stuff was everywhere,” said Watson. “You could see people’s #BirthCertificates, & papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy.”
