We are tired, we are frustrated, and we need real solutions now

Oct 24, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter as a single mother who is deeply frustrated and concerned about the ongoing issue of dirty water in our community. Every day, I have to struggle to find clean water for my children to drink, bathe, and cook with. It is heartbreaking and unfair that in this day and age, we are still forced to use water that is brown, has a bad smell, and often causes skin irritation and sickness.

As a mother, my greatest worry is the health of my children. I cannot afford to buy bottled water all the time, and boiling the dirty water still doesn’t make it completely safe. It is stressful, time-consuming, and expensive, especially when I am already trying my best to make ends meet.

I am calling on the authorities and those responsible for our water system to take urgent action. Clean water is not a luxury—it is a basic human need and right. We deserve better living conditions and should not have to beg for something as essential as safe water. Please, let the voices of struggling mothers like me be heard. We are tired, we are frustrated, and we need real solutions now.

Yours truly,
Roshawna Pilgrim
