dc.description.abstract Janet is a very dedicated woman, in all facets of her life as a worker, as a mother and especially as a daughter. Growing up in economic disparity she quickly learned the importance of family and perseverance. When Hurricane Maria came, and her parents’ financial situation turned dire, her and her siblings saw themselves carrying their financial needs and providing for them. But Janet, especially, saw herself carrying the burden of their health appointments. In this story she recounts her experiences dealing with a poor health care system and a very sick father in need of medical attention in the past two years. Along with her distaste of the governments handling of the island wide crisis. en
