The five children who made the trip from Santo Domingo to La Otra Banda in Higuey explained that they made their trip as a promise to the Virgin of Altagracia. The children however refused to explain the nature of their promise because according to them, promises can't be told. Siblings Christian, Edward and Franchely Guzman Sanchez and Marilyn Rosely and Jobanka Ramirez Caminero also pawned a ring that belonged to their parents for RD$1,000 in order to make their trip. The children left for Higuey on Saturday afternoon. Rosely explained that once they made it to Higuey they went to the Basilica, lit candles and prayed before wandering about aimlessly. Rosely said that they hitched a ride on a motoconcho and eventually met up with someone named Jayson, who provided them with food and shelter for several days. The children said they weren't scared but were concerned because they knew they were being looked for. Their mother, Marilyn Caminero, said that they would all return to fulfill another promise, this time barefoot.
