dc.description.abstract | Sofia is a loving person with whom I was able to sit down with and listen to her story, which seemed like a Puerto Rican tragedy. Sofía lived in Barrio Victoria, in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, but currently resides in her daughters' house because her house was not suitable for an elderly person like her. She tells us her story of how she felt before, during, and after Hurricane Maria. Truly, she is a humble human being who really only cared about two things: the safety of her loved ones and her love of agriculture. She is a strong and independent woman who faced the reality of losing her home and everything in it. Despite this, she lives every day with a smile on her face, providing food to her neighbors and others straight from her yard. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Sofía es una persona amorosa con quien me pude sentar y escuchar su historia, la cual parecía una tragedia puertorriqueña. Sofía vivía en el Barrio Victoria, en Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, pero actualmente reside en la casa de sus hijas debido a que su casa no estaba apta para una persona de tercera edad como ella. Nos cuenta su historia de cómo se sintió antes, durante y después del huracán María. Verdaderamente, es un ser humano humilde a quien realmente solo le importaban dos cosas: la seguridad de sus seres queridos y su amor por la agricultura. Es una mujer fuerte e independiente que se enfrentó a la realidad de perder su casa y todo lo que había dentro. Sin embargo, vive todos los días con una sonrisa en el rostro, brindándole comida a sus vecinos y a otras personas directamente de su patio. | es |
