Maria del Transito Guerrero de Lopez
76 years old / Homemaker
Maria, because of her age, doesn't work anymore. She likes to relax in the hammock when she has nothing to do. She also goes to church, and there are many activities for her to do at home. Maria felt happy when they gave her the news about the house. Now, she will have a new one, and she knows she will spend her elderly years in a safe home.

She is not working at the moment because she is taking care of her children . But she usually works at a store in a different town, so she has to leave her children for periods of time.

Maria has been living in the same place for about 40 years, but the house was rebuilt after the earthquake 20 years ago. They used recycled materials from their previous house to build the one they live in now. They feel afraid that when it rains, the walls of the house get wet and they might fall.
“We feel grateful to the Lord and also to the Canadian team. May the Lord bless them always, this is the first time someone has ever done anything like this for us”.
