About 12+ houses in Algodon need immediate repair to their walls and roofs.
Don Bosco – Three houses were totally destroyed. 12+ houses need immediate repair of ceiling and walls, and many people need food and mattresses.
Altagracia – Three houses were totally destroyed. 12+ houses need immediate repair of ceiling and walls, and many need food and new mattresses.
Los Robles – We still have some refugees in our school in Los Robles. Only three homes were totally destroyed, but 25+ need major repair. Many lost their crops, livestock, clothing, and mattresses. Many don’t have any food and the food situation will soon be worse.
