Sandra Patricia García
42 years old / Homeowner
Sandra works as a house cleaner for a neighbor who asks for her help. In the afternoons, she also helps her aunt sell Salvadoran traditional food. She will be living with two of her children. Her son, Milton, was not present at the time, as he was at work.
Magali Alejandra Rivas García
22 years old / Sandra’s daughter
Magali has a special condition and, according to her mother, is entirely dependent on her.
The land where they live belongs to her family, as her aunt has given them permission to stay there, and they have also been promised ownership of the property. They have lived in this house for over 27 years, since Sandra was a child. The house was built sometime after the earthquakes by a charitable foundation. It is made entirely of metal sheets, is very small, and has just enough space for a few belongings.
