Joey and his mom went on with life but they suffered trying to find food. They were not in good conditions. They thought for sure that they would starve to death. They were so poor that they had to find food in the dump. Joey was only 6 years old and he was very poor.

Joey and his mom were always close to each other. They LOVED each other so very much. Joey never felt alone when he had his mommy right by his side. Until one day everything changed…
Joey’s mom caught pneumonia and died. Now he was only 7 years old.

All because his mom died Joey was now all alone. It was 1991 and he had just turned 11 years old. He felt like he would die. He was poor, didn’t go to school (couldn’t go to school), didn’t have any friends, and his mom and dad were dead! He also was HOMELESS. Joey never felt more alone in his life.

Joey decided to go to a country called, “AMERICA”. He took a boat and started sailing the blue sea and eventually he found America. Joey was so excited but he didn’t know where he was. He suddenly found a sign and it said, “WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY!”

17
Joey was glad that he knew where he was. He started walking down the street onto the sidewalk. While he was walking he bumped into someone and he stopped. It was a woman! She said that her name was Bonnie. Joey and Bonnie talked for a while she said that she was 37 years old.

Chapter 3
Joey is an orphan
Bonnie asked “why are you walking down the street alone in the middle of New York City!”. He told Bonnie that he didn’t want to talk about it. I am just looking for a better life. So she said, “well ok, I have an orphanage down just a couple of blocks, would you like to come live there for a while”? Joey answered, “Well yes I would! Thank you so much”! “No problem” said Bonnie, “Come on let’s go”!

21
When Joey got to the orphanage he saw that the windows were just boards and that the door was cracked. He thought he made a big mistake coming to the house. Then it actually turned out to be a very beautiful home. All the kids were very loving to Joey! Then one day something happened to Joey. He got a cold! It didn't get better it got worse!
22
23
Joey was getting so sick that he couldn’t move! Bonnie liked Joey better than all the other kids. Bonnie and Joey bonded. She liked Joey because he was funny, talented, and smart! All the other kids were jealous of him. Joey always got all the attention. Bonnie was getting even angrier as Joey got more sick. All the other kids were happy that Joey was sick because they didn’t like Joey at all. That’s when Joey had an idea.

Chapter 4
The escape
Joey thought that he wasn’t in a safe place so he decided to run away and escape! He never had been in a break-out before but he was about to experience one! He tried real hard to keep the secret that he was going to runaway. Bonnie gave him medicine every day and he finally got better! He thought he could handle it on his own, as he was now all better from his sickness! Joey was very devious with his plan. People were suspicious.

27
It was in the middle of the night when Joey was about to make a quick (but loud) get-away. Suddenly Joey lifted up a chair and smashed it on the boards (that were in place of a window) then he jumped out and took off! He ran just as fast as his little legs could carry him until he could run no more!
28
29
When Joey got tired he stopped running and took a break. Then he got up and started to walk. He walked down the street a few blocks. He was so cold because all he had was a t-shirt and shorts. Then he saw something, it was a PAIR OF PANTS!
30
31
Joey was relieved that he had some pants to wear. But what Joey did not know was that those pants were the most valuable and popular pants ever! Also that the president knew about those pants! This was Joey’s very first awesome pants that had jewels all over them. they had some scratches and patches but he didn’t care. But Joey did not know where the pants came from! Suddenly he picked up the pants and there was a tag on it. On the tag said: Please return to carter. But he didn’t care.

Chapter 5
The journey begins
Joey didn't care that the pants were covered in girly jewels. Joey thought that they were cool even if they they had jewels on them. Suddenly, a man in a uniform came rushing towards them, and said HEY! I need to tell you something! WHAT! Said Joey. Those are some pretty awesome pants, would you like to go show those to the PRESIDENT! Said the man. For sure! Said Joey!
