Meet Maria Garrido — an 80-year-old grandmother who grew up working the farms of a small village in Portugal before immigrating to the United States as a teenager to reunite with her parents.
Maria shares what it was like working the land from a young age, leaving school early, and arriving in America without knowing the language or what the future held. She reflects on building a life, marrying her childhood sweetheart, raising children, leaning on the Portuguese immigrant community, and finding purpose in family, homemaking, and resilience.
This conversation is about immigration, family, hard work, sacrifice, and the quiet strength it takes to build a life one day at a time.
