I was here in this room with my 83-year-old mom.
My kids were there in the kitchen. When the first piece of wall fell, we tried to get out.
It was about 30 seconds later and we moved a little and the bathroom wall collapsed.
The bathroom wall and the rest of the wall there, the debris, ended up in the yard
and my son was opening the door when the one across from him fell.
Now we are waiting for support from the municipality and the mayor's office
to help us rebuild our homes and replace what we lost.
For friends, for the city, for municipal housing centers to help us.
Que nos ayuden.
