​4.Covid-19 Puts Tremendous Pressure on New Immigrants.

Covid-19 puts tremendous pressure on new immigrants. I interviewed a friend of my mother who had just come to the United States. My mother’s friend is a woman who just came to the United States for only half a year and lost her job because of Covid-19. Since she just sent the money back to China, she does not have enough money to pay for this month’s rent and next month’s living expenses. She felt very helpless and asked about where she could get help. At first, a friend agreed to her, but due to the landlord’s policy,outsiders were not allowed to move in. She was disappointed and anxious. She didn’t know what to do if she couldn’t find a place to live next month. Finally, with the help of friends of friends, she finally found a place to live. She said that although she didn’t know what would happen in the future, she at least guaranteed a residence now.
