"I left my home because welfare was making me choose between my baby’s formula or oatmeal for myself. The ugly truth is that I lost my son Isadore in court. … The ugly of that truth is that I gave birth to my second son as I was losing my first. My court date and my delivery date aligned. In the hospital, they told me that my first son would go with his father."
