Maria Julia Portillo

66 years old / works selling tortillas

She has been living in the same house for about 8 years now. She lives by herself, but her family lives close by. She lost her leg about 20 years ago, but that condition doesn’t stop her from working.

Maria feels happy for the support that she is receiving, it's the type of help that it’s uncommon to see.


The laminate is old, also when it rains she gets a lot water inside the house. And she doesn't have anybody to help her. She feels happy and grateful to God, also thankful with everybody who is helping.
