Morales Socorec Family

Jaime and Mirna live on a piece of land they inherited from their parents about ten years ago, they now live there along with other relatives. Jaime and Mirna lived in a small room built with wood and plywood which was in a poor condition, the house had deteriorated. Due to the condition of the house, they suffered from cold weather during the night and wetness during the rainy season.

​

This had caused respiratory diseases in their children. Jaime works as a Bus driver from Monday to Sunday making around 10 dollars a day, this is the only income they have. Mirna is a housewife, she stays at home and takes care of her two babies. They have access to running water and electric service, and a sewer system; they also have a toilet for their use.  

​

They have a little space in the house that they use as a kitchen, they have a propane stove, (they use it only when they can afford the propane), two beds, a wardrobe, a television and a little dining table. They needed a  new home since they do not make enough money to build one on their own. But thanks to a CASA client they now have a new home and now they can be warm helping their kid's respiratory diseases.
