Home 133: Sisters Yolanda and Maria have been living together in the tent in the first image since after the earthquake. The tent also houses their children, including an infant of six months, a four-year-old child, and an eight-year-old child. The fathers went to the Dominican Republic to seek work. The tent was not secure and allowed rain to seep in. Now, they will stay in a dry, safe home.

Home 134: Mireille Jerome, her mother, and four-year-old daughter were all living in a house with no windows made of metal sheets donated by the church. Our team went inside to take pictures, but quickly left due to extreme heat. Now, they have a spacious home with five windows and are able to stay inside, even in the middle of the day.
