Juana is not working at the moment because she recently had surgery for a mass hernia. Her children help her with her living expenses, and Juana also lives with one of her grandchildren.
Emerson Ezequiel Lopez
13 years old / Student / Juana’s grandson
Since he was a baby, he was raised by Juana, as his mom left him with her when he was only 14 months old. He is currently in 7th grade.
Juana has been living in the same house for more than 20 years, but after the earthquake in 2001, the house fell apart. She had to rebuild it by using mud but every time that there’s a tremor, they are afraid that the house might fall apart.
