A woman at the drop-off point with a foreign accent was literally sobbing and on her knees, begging us to take her back into her flooded home. She said she needed to get her immigration papers. I had to say no, it was just too dangerous. That moment weighed on me for days after. A few weeks passed, and I saw her again. She said she had gotten back into her home and found all of her immigration papers.
