Humans of La Manzanilla: Yirla

Well, she actually lives in Agua Caliente, just up the road, but she works at Quinta Valentina Restaurant, which re-opened today on a provisional basis. Yirla's house is unliveable now...missing a roof and a wall from the hurricane, everything wet inside. She has a 2-year-old that she's trying to take care of in the midst of all this mayhem. Her husband works at Blue Bay which is still closed from damages. Things are very hard, and there is no help. Through the generosity of Vicki Matthew we were able to pass along over 7,000 pesos that Vicki and her friends and family raised, to help Yirla and her family get through this mess. Kudos Vicki! You made her very happy!

David Thanks for posting an image of Yirla. We love her, and are truly sorry for her family's current situation. I can't imagine her moving forward with her educational efforts with the mayhem now in her life. Thanks to Vicki for helping to make things work for her. Give her a hug for us.
