Leo's worker involved in house fire

Last year, Leo's employee Altagracia's home was tragically burnt to the ground. Unfortunately this year the same thing has just happened to Leo's worker Leslie Tang. An email from Georgetown Solidarity says:

"She was cooking rice in her kitchen, left the room to do laundry, and the electrical unit in her stove exploded and her house went up in flames. Her husband was severely burned in the fire. She lost everything: food, cooking utensils, clothes, everything, she told me. Anything that wasn't burned, for example her sewing machines she needs for her job as a seamstress, was looted by burglars a few days later. She has two teenage children, and her daughter has special needs. Her husband had a stroke last year and has been unable to work since, therefore she is the only income earner. Leslie is burning the candle at both ends. She has four jobs right now - working Leo's night shift until 1:30am (cleaning afterwards for extra money), delivering newspapers in the early morning, school bus driving during the day, and she also works as a seemstress in whatever hours she has - she gets an average of two hours of sleep a night. Leslie told me she is scared she will not be able to feed h er kids - her savings account is being depleted, as she has to pay incredibly high medical bills for her husband' blood pressure medicine from his stroke and has to pay $50 daily as she takes him to the hospital to dress his burn wounds. Her family and she have been sleeping in different hotels every few nights for the past three weeks, which she has had to pay for out of her pocket.
