As hundreds of people in Acuna flee the flood waters and as an estimated 10,000 families (AP story) saw their homes damaged, I think of the people in these cardboard ruins. They had little and lost everything.
It seems it was only a few short years ago when these same people, living in cardboard shacks and working 50 hours to earn $40 to $60, sent $1,500 to help the victims of Katrina. I love helping these people and wonder if the people in New Orleans are collecting money to return the favor.
In the colonias I see genuine gratitude and sharing with neighbors.
