I am Nadia Kazacz. Living in a four story walk-up building on the lower East side of New York City is tough in nearly every way imaginable. Living as a woman on Delancey Street in this time and location is also a challenge. The neighborhood is not a nice one, nor is it clean or sanitary. I am a 31 year old woman who has just immigrated from Eastern Europe, specifically Hungary. My husband works as a merchant marine mariner and is away for months at a time at sea. Sometimes his wages reach me…

miss the big apple so much. It has been 5 years and I still haven’t adapted to the lifestyle here. Like they say “New York never sleeps”. I feel like that quote is true. There is usually always noise in the streets. I remember I used to complain because of the noise but now that we moved to Nebraska well I miss it a lot. This place is extremely quiet. Nothing can compare to NYC. New York is full of multi-culture. There is people from all over the world. Where I lived at was bush wick down…
