Gladys Corniel Gómez
Gladys Corniel Gómez, a 76-year-old woman from Palmarito, is a poignant symbol of the struggles faced by many elderly individuals in the Dominican Republic. Living in poverty and awaiting a pension that has never materialized, she faces the Christmas season with despair rather than joy. Gladys's humble home lacks the festive essentials, and her only source of income is a small social assistance card, which barely covers basic needs. Despite her difficult circumstances and deteriorating health, including significant vision loss, she maintains a glimmer of hope for support from the community and calls upon local authorities for the assistance she desperately needs. Her story highlights the plight of older adults who often find themselves overlooked and in need of compassion and aid.
