Immigrats Help Each Other

In my experience, immigrants help each other whenever we can. Since I came to American more than 20 years ago, I have gotten much help from immigrants. I also have learned that immigrants help each other in different ways.

For my first baby, I didn't have enough money to buy health insurance. The Chinese interpreter bought me to meet social worker. She filled out all the applications for me. I just signed my name only. After that I got my medical coverage to deliver my baby.

One time I went to dental clinic to clear my teeth, the doctor she came from Vietnam found out I had one tooth with a cavity. She fixed for me without charging me. She told me many immigrants didn't have money to maintain our teeth, so we finally lose our all of out teeth.

One Asian driver worked in my previous trucking company; one time when he loaded vegetables from California to New York, he signed the bill of lading without counting how many pallets there are on the truck. The receiver found it to be short one pallet. He had to pay 600 hundred dollars for that one pallet of merchandise out of his own pocket. A Mexican she worked at the ship accounting office. She stayed in the office and checked the computer inventory after everyone went home. The next day, she went to the warehouse and checked merchandise. She found out the warehouse worker didn't ship out that pallet. The driver called to thank her for her help. She said she was "glad to help immigrants".
