Asylum

My mother came to visit me in 2023. I chose to live with her after i spent some time at Canadian mental health association housing. Later she started to apply for asylum and permanent residence. We have been living together ever since. She told me it’s Xiaodan Wang and Alex Banman contacted her in China. It made me realize they probably didn’t know what to do at first. Now I’m still living with my mother. Etc.
