She nodded firmly, her voice clear and resolute. “I’ll go with you!”

The two quickly packed their things. Archie quietly sneaked into the director’s office and stole 500 dollars. Meanwhile, Johanna went to the kitchen, stole some food, and stuffed it into a backpack

The two youngsters slipped out of the house under the cover of night, scaled the wall, and escaped into an uncertain future. The years of wandering were just as difficult.

At first, the 500 dollars they stole was enough to prevent them from starving, but once the money ran out, it was hard to put food on the table. They occasionally had to starve.

At that time, Johanna and Archie collected discarded mineral water bottles for a week They rummaged through trash cans without care for cleanliness because those bottles could be exchanged for money. Once they had filled a large sack, they would sell it for a few dollars, which was enough to buy them some food. Countless days and nights passed like this. Life was harsh but also sweet.
