  • Odesa: What is human trafficking?

  • Odesa: I can care for Samantha very well, but they do not appreciate my work. I am expected to do everything for them and now care for the grandparents, too.

  • Odesa: My boss tricked me. I agreed to work for the family as a caregiver to Samantha, and instead I am a cleaner and cook and parent and more. I have to work all hours of the day and night and am not being paid what's fair for the extra work.
