Hello!  My name is Maria.       I come from Italy.  My father worked in a marble quarry.  One day he was killed while working.  My parents had been very much in love, and she was broken-hearted after he died.  My mother's family owned vineyards, but she did not want to stay in Italy without my father.       She decided to bring me to America.  On the long voyage across the Great Ocean, influenza struck our ship and my mother died, also.  I arrived safely in New York City and I am happy to be alive.       Nevertheless, I am homeless and very lonely. With Your Love, Maria
