Maria Teresa Castro

83 years old / homemaker

The house where she lives was given to her after her son passed away from being sick for a few months. Her neighbors usually help her by giving her food sometimes or checking on her from time to time. She doesn’t work, but she receives a pension from the government that was originally from her son (he was part of the civil war).


The house where she lives it's pretty old, and they can't afford to build one house. The walls of the house are about to fall, and it even has bees!

“We feel very grateful, because we are poor and we can't afford to get a house. Thank you also to the shelter foundation ,and everyone who came to visit from the project”.
