She came to FPI with her handicapped daughter several years ago and when her daughter passed away in 2012, Migdalia continued on at FPI. Migdalia is now the on-site supervisor who helps make medical appointments, arrange hospital visits and obtain medicine for the more than sixty members of the FPI community. Most FPI members are poor and require almost constant care. In fact, physical therapy is now provided by volunteers.

She conducts the BVB interview of FPI members and others in the community. In addition, Migdalia helps with the organization of the monthly food pack which is conducted at the Handicap Center.
