Juana Sostre Vazquez holds a printed photograph of her taken after Hurricane Maria destroyed her home, as she poses with her family inside her new, cinderblock home that has a temporary roof in the San Lorenzo neighborhood of Morovis, Puerto Rico, May 26, 2018. Last year's storm ripped Sostre's wooden home off its foundation in the central mountain highlands. Living on food stamps and Social Security payments, the 69-year-old grandmother rebuilt with the help of her son-in-law and $14,000 in FEMA aid. She said her metal roof is nailed to wooden two-by-fours because she couldn't afford to build stronger and hopes the next hurricane won't send it flying. “The money didn't let us do the roof”, she said. “I'm doing it little by little as I save a couple of dollars”.
