Jesús is a dedicated and hardworking man who works in agriculture planting corn and beans, and sometimes as a masonry assistant. One month ago, he was involved in an accident in which a motorcycle hit him, fracturing his femur. He is currently unable to work.
Emerson Antonio Lara Martínez
19 years old / Day Laborer / Blanca’s Son
Emerson is a hardworking young man who supports his parents and his wife. He works in agriculture and occasionally as a masonry assistant.
The house and land belong to Blanca. The house was built 26 years ago using metal sheets, mud, bahareque, and plastic tarps. During the rainy season, frequent roof leaks allow a large amount of water to enter, causing significant discomfort.
