Knowing that my mother's alive and how she fought her way out, that's helped me a lot, ... We've heard so much bad news all week, we needed some good news.

The water's covering their car and they can't get out, ... The only way out is to get out and swim, and they don't want to take that chance. I'm trying to do anything I can to get somebody to go over there and help her.

We're kind of jam-packed right now, ... We lost everything ... we're a poor family and didn't have too much. But we have each other.

Measuring cups are your best friend. Reading labels in the grocery is a challenge. It took two hours for my first shopping trip for her.
