Notes: Berta Mairena lives with her two sons. Since Berta is disabled, she can not work. She relies on crutches to walk on her bad right hip. She needs a hip reconstruction/replacement. They rely on her daughter across the street to provide for them. Salomon is at university. Juan has completed his basic accounting degree but is not licensed. It requires more school for licensing. Jobs without a license in that field is difficult. She received a new blender from BASIC for making and selling frozen treats. Very sweet people. New house in March 2010
