Family of the month - October 2016

Meet Wilberto and his mother Bertina

 

Wilberto, 46, has been bed-ridden and living with his mother in Potrerillos Abajo ever since he was shot and partially paralyzed in a robbery attempt at Wilberto’s place of business. On that day he lost his mobility and his livelihood. Friends and family have rallied around him to help him find a hospital bed and to get him to doctor’s and physical therapist’s appointments. Now he needs a wheelchair, which he hopes “to borrow for a short time”. Wilberto says he is determined to walk again, and to work again to help support his mother. Wilberto and his mom are only two of the many clients you can help feed every month.  Support the BVB non-perishable food program today.

Thank you!
