Waiting to meet his mom Thursday morning, he phoned the police when he still didn’t see her at 1 pm,
While the teen conceded that he didn’t know his mother’s occupation, he said she was ‘always working for us to give us the best life in this country.’
I am ‘in shock,’ he says. ‘Everything here in New York reminds me of her. Everything.’
‘My mom, she worked very hard,’ said Cevallos who joined her in the US two years ago.
