Ericka is a single mom. She’s been raising her two sons in Iquitos, Peru after her husband abandoned them.
Ericka explained, “My greatest challenge is to fix my house, so that my boys and I will be safe. We are afraid every time it rains. On those nights, we get wet and don’t sleep.”
Ericka’s son, Daniel, said he wonders how long before their house will collapse.
Daniel said, “When there is thunder and rain, our house moved. I got scared and told my mom that I don’t want the roof to fall on us.”

“I want to fix it, but every repair is just temporary,” Ericka said.
