A desperate social media message from a woman in Puerto Rico about lacking a safe roof over her children’s heads prompted a response team from the town of Vega Baja to mobilize. In her post, the woman shared her frustration over working tirelessly to obtain housing without success. "I’m on the bridge and just tell my children that I tried and tried and I love them with all my strength but I can’t take it anymore, tell them that mom worked without resting and still never got them a ROOF because PR is useless, damn it, I really tried to be strong but I couldn’t take any more," the post reads.

Vega Baja municipal personnel attended to the woman after her message spread online. The published material does not report what specific assistance the town provided or the woman’s current condition.
