Refugees face homelessness all over again in U.S.

"We need to work for the family" Refugees An Na, 56, and her daughter, Oo Meh (also known as "Tutu"), 17, struggle to keep their Kent apartment. As she tries to learn English, An Na hopes to earn money from sewing on a donated machine. Oo Meh dropped out of high school to take a job. Their family was brought to the U.S. after years in a refugee camp on the Thai-Burmese border.
