After every flood, cold spell, or rain storm, there are always illnesses, injuries, or deaths to the residents of this fragile and impoverished colonia. | Streets and homes of the Solares Colonia, the adjoining neighborhood from which comes most of the Evan's free Health Clinic's clientele. Without this clinic, most of the people would have absolutely NO medicine or health care whatsoever. |
