When she sees homeless people alone on the streets, she thinks how lucky she and her family are to have each other. When she hears children make cruel jokes about kids who live in shelters, she's glad she has kept her secret. Someday, she says, her brother will be the president of the United States and will change things.What things?
"The way people treat each other, and he'll make sure everyone has a home, no matter where they come from. And, "she giggles, "he'll make candy free."
