MIGRANTES CUBANOS IMPROVISAN UN APARTAMENTO BAJO UN PUENTE EN MIAMI

La familia Halpin cantó el Regina Caeli a la Virgen María ante los restos de su casa, que quedó totalmente destruida tras los incendios forestales en Los Ángeles. "Pudimos unirnos a través de esta canción que significa tanto para nuestra familia”, dijo Andrew Halpin.

Migrantes cubanos improvisan un “apartamento” bajo un puente en Miami

Los residentes han logrado instalar electricidad y hasta un aire acondicionado.

Un grupo de migrantes cubanos sin hogar transformó la parte baja de un puente en Miami en un improvisado “complejo de apartamentos”, que cuenta con los elementos básicos para la supervivencia, inclusive electricidad y hasta aire acondicionado.

Governor Gavin Newsom de Los Angeles CA en agosto del año pasado mandó a limpiar las calles, a quitar los improvisados campamentos. Muchos se fueron y hasta éstos días llega alguno que otro sin improvisar según un lugareño que a diario camina a su querido perro y cuida que no coma de la basura de la acera de las estrellas de Hollywood Blvd. 

Y recordando la imágen de la casa de madera rodante en Los Angeles CA del desamparado que responde por el apodo de 'Q', no diferencia a la de los migrantes cubanos en peligro por las precarias condiciones improvisadas bajo uno de los puentes de Miami☀️ #Oremos por los desamparados -Orden De San Benito Hialeah

Impact of L.A. County’s wildfire evacuations ripples into Skid Row.

Last week, as the wildfires broke out and scorched thousands of acres across L.A., the Weingart Center on Skid Row took in about 19 unhoused people who had been impacted by the fires, according to Jericho Kilpatrick, a spokesperson for the organization. Around 3 a.m., Edgar woke up to a voice over the loudspeaker system.

“Fire warning,” the voice said. “Please evacuate the building.”

Edgar said she went outside but didn’t see any firetrucks. She asked other residents if they knew what was going on, but they didn’t have answers. Kilpatrick didn’t have details on where the unhoused people were evacuated from. Facing overcrowding at the shelter and afraid that a fire might break out, Edgar decided to go back on the streets.

Edgar stayed on the streets for a few days until Friday, when she met Jessenia Garcia, a 45-year-old board member for the Sidewalk Project, a nonprofit on Skid Row offering services for homeless people.

Garcia persuaded Edgar to come with her to stay at the Sidewalk Project’s drop-off center on Skid Row, which was also serving as a makeshift shelter during the wildfires.

“She saved me for tonight, probably for the rest of my life,” Edgar said.

People already battling homelessness have had their lives uprooted during what are shaping up to be the most destructive wildfires in L.A. history, facing displacement and potential health issues from the wildfire smoke.

After the Sunset fire sparked in the Hollywood Hills, mandatory evacuation orders were issued for people between Laurel Canyon Boulevard and the 101 Freeway, from Mulholland Drive on the north to Hollywood Boulevard on the south. The evacuation was sent to people’s phones and announced online but didn’t reach those living on the streets.
