Gabriela Jasmin Henriquez Garcia

23 years old / homeowner

At home, she takes care of her 3-year-old baby and also helps her mother-in-law make tortillas. She is going to live with her partner, Cristian Cruz, who is 25 years old, and his 2-year-old child. She has been living with her partner for 4 years now.

Lucas Edenilson Cruz Henriquez

2 years old / Gabriela’s son

He likes to play ball as well as play with his grandmother, who lives next door.


The house where they live was built more than four years ago. She and her partner built it together, but the land does not belong to them; it belongs to Cristian’s uncle. The biggest challenge they face is that, because the house is in a lower area, it often gets flooded inside. The house is entirely made of metal sheets, which are deteriorated.
