Due to their financial situation, they were compelled to live in a one-bedroom apartment in New York City. They were compelled to leave Brazil because of the high levels of crime in their neighborhood.
The family furnished their squalid flat in New York City with materials they found on the streets. She revealed that food pantries and charity shops were frequent stops for her and her family.
Her mother is a nutritionist and educator who received a Ph.D. from a Brazilian university. She frequently received denials of payment for cleaning hotels and private residences since she was an illegal immigrant.
