Abstract
Description
In this written interview, Participant 572 discusses challenges they faced during COVID-19, including supporting their children, navigating technology and a language barrier, and escaping a situation of abuse. The participant is happy to have found a part-time job which provides some income and allows them to be at home with their children while they attend school remotely. The participant shares that undocumented communities were largely left out of the COVID-19 response and could not benefit from the stimulus checks.
