A patient and her daughter carry a new mattress home down a muddy road.

“It’s not that they are thieves. They are just starving,” Pascual said in describing the risk he takes when traveling to neighborhoods where patients live.

Devastation wrought by November’s two hurricanes, pandemic curfews, and extreme poverty necessitate home visits to bring medical care, food, beds, cookstoves, and roofing materials.

Siempre Unidos continues to provide high-quality HIV and primary care services following best practices to limit Covid-19 infection. With your tremendous help, we are responding with emergency relief for the hundreds of patients whose homes and livelihoods were destroyed.

Pascual and the Staff work so hard; they reflect the effort described by Victor Hugo:

“…a progress from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsehood to truth, from night to day, from appetite to conscience, from corruption to life; from bestiality to duty, from hell to heaven, from nothingness to God. The starting point: matter, destination: the soul. The hydra at the beginning, the angel at the end.”
