I went to Greece to earn enough money to pay for my grandchild’s surgery. Initially, I was planning to go to Italy. I even bought a dictionary and was learning some words, but finally, I decided to go to Greece instead. When I think about how I went through the forests and how I snuck in, I have hard time believing that this happened to me. Nobody knew that I was planning it, I hadn’t told anyone. I wanted to make a deal with someone, who would pay for my travel and then I would pay them back. I didn’t even have enough money to get there.
