dc.description.abstract The interview features Ángela L. Pagán, who was born and raised in the town of Aibonito and currently resides there. During the interview, her childhood was initially discussed, including her favorite hobbies from back then. Another event in her life that is discussed it’s her great love for music, leading her to become a music teacher and later a primary school teacher. The main purpose of this interview was to analyze the challenges that Ángela faced as a result of Hurricane María and her recent diagnosis of breast cancer. Her experience provides valuable information on the struggles that many Puerto Ricans faced during this time, especially those who were most vulnerable to social injustices. After Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, the island was devastated and there was widespread damage to infrastructure, including the power grid. Much of the population was deprived of basic services such as electricity and running water for several months. The shortage of basic necessities such as food and medicine was severe, and access to critical services such as healthcare was severely limited. As a cancer patient, Ángela was particularly vulnerable to the effects of the storm. en

Durante la entrevista, se abordó inicialmente la infancia de Ángela, discutiendo sus pasatiempos favoritos de aquel entonces.

El propósito principal de esta entrevista fue analizar los desafíos que Ángela enfrentó como resultado del huracán María y su reciente diagnóstico de cáncer de mama. Su experiencia proporciona información valiosa sobre las luchas que enfrentaron muchos puertorriqueños durante este tiempo, especialmente aquellos más vulnerables a las injusticias sociales. Después de la llegada del huracán María a Puerto Rico, la isla quedó devastada y se produjeron daños generalizados a la infraestructura, incluyendo la red eléctrica. Gran parte de la población se vio privada de servicios básicos como electricidad y agua corriente durante varios meses. La escasez de necesidades básicas como alimentos y medicinas fue grave, y el acceso a servicios críticos como atención médica se vio severamente limitado. Como paciente de cáncer, Ángela era particularmente vulnerable a los efectos de la tormenta. es
