Gladys Cornielle Gómez

Gladys Cornielle Gómez, a 76-year-old woman from Barahona, embodies resilience and dignity. Having dedicated her life to raising her family and contributing to her country, she now faces the harsh realities of aging and neglect. This Christmas, she expressed her feelings of abandonment by stating, 'I am an orphan of the government,' highlighting the struggles faced by many in her community. Thanks to a gesture of solidarity from Senator Félix Bautista and the Superintendence of Pensions, she and others like her are reminded that they are not forgotten, receiving support that brings both physical nourishment and emotional comfort.
