Elisa H.

Elisa H. is a resident of Pájaro and is originally from Oaxaca, Mexico. Elisa speaks Zapotec, Spanish and is learning English at Cabrillo College. Elisa works in a packaging company making boxes and during the season she also works harvesting strawberries.

The strawberry is not growing well. I have to throw away food and there is less money to bring home.

Pajaro’s water was contaminated during the flood. Until now I am afraid that the water will hurt me and affect my health.

Anxiety that I will miss work if it floods again. I'm worried because my son needs diapers and milk. The mud and cold remind me of the rain from the 2023 flood.

I'm afraid that the water will affect my family, my house and my car again. It took me a lot of effort to buy my car and the water destroyed it.

I remember that after the flood I didn't have a home either and they moved me to the shelter on the fairgrounds.

The flowers are withered from the heat. I wish everything was fine.
