She wakes up in the morning and prepares her son for school. Then she does the household chores, and at 8 a.m., she opens her shop, where she sells clay pots, hammocks, and household supplies. The house where she and her son Axel (he was at school at the moment of the interview) live is made of metal sheets with holes in the walls, which let rainwater in when it rains.
"I felt so happy when I learned I would have a decent home. Our lives will change because it will be a safer place for me and my son. We won't have to keep moving our belongings to prevent them from getting wet, and we won’t go to bed worried about the rain." "I am very grateful to those who thought of families in need. May God always bless you for your goodwill and love for others."
