Notes: Paula has 11 people living in her house. She works all day until 4-5 pm so she has bad back pain from standing and straining all day. She’s absolutely exhausted from working so many hours trying to feed everyone. Her two sons break rock for minimal money but it is barely any income. Their house is all plastic and tin. They got 6 new support beans in May from B.A.S.I.C. to replace rotten ones. Bladimir also works in the afternoons helping sell her tortillas. The family moved to Santa Patricia in 1997. Pastor Sandor invited Paula to church service here. She saw the empty lots, and had nowhere to live, so she came here. Vladmir has dropped out of school he wants to work instead of study. He would like to be a taxi driver. Paula would like a home store, and a kitchen where she could make and sell food. In February 2015 Juan was given a used table saw to help him with his work. Paula had bladder surgery in Feb. 2016. She did not rest as directed, so got no better. She was given money needed for medictions. She says she will step back and let the kids take over. We will see. New house in Feb 2016
