Mayra Elizabeth Merino Villatoro

40 years old / Homeowner

Mayra is currently unemployed. A few months ago, she lost her job due to her illness. She suffers from arthritis, which prevented her from performing physically demanding tasks at her previous job. Currently, she cleans houses or runs errands.


 The land where she lives belongs to her father, and she has been living there for five years. She built the house herself with the help of a few people who were able to assist her. The house is made entirely of metal sheets and wood. During the rainy season, living alone becomes especially challenging. Water seeps into the house because she lives near a river that often overflows, significantly affecting her home.
