Houses of Visually Impaired

Last monday I got a phone call from the lady who runs Fundcion Oswaldo Loor asking me if I could go and help document the state of repair of the houses of visually impaired people in Manabi.

I had my own issues I was dealing with, but, I try to never say no to this lady. She is always doing so much for others.

Over the course of 3 days we visited 20+ houses and took a look at the damage they had sustained.

As well as viewing the houses, we were also delivering food and water.

Very few houses where un-damaged.

Some Houses are no longer habitable.

 

Other Houses need walls repaired or replaced

 

Some  houses need to be reset onto their supports or foundations

There is damage to floors and ceilings

 

The part that made this assignment the most difficult one for me was the people.  Most of these people do not have much, and then to lose what little they have is heartbreaking.

I am not sure where or how Yolanda will find the money help these people, but they are some of the many people who do need help.
