No Christmas Again For Vietnamese Family
In Jersey City Tran Van Sam and his 10 children face another Christmas with no presents due to poverty and his Buddhist beliefs. The family lives on $600 monthly wages, supported by food stamps and Social Security for his mother, while kids dream of small gifts like a Baby Burp doll and a knitting set. The children attend local schools and the family remains tight knit in a three story Cottage Street home as they balance immigrant hardship with hope for better days.
