Miguel lost his home to Hurricane Maria. To make matters worse, one of his daughters has epilepsy and requires a refrigerated medication. Without electricity, it became a daily problem to find ice and, eventually, a resupply of medicine.

The family has found a rental home, his daughter is back in school and he is working as a prep cook at Rosen Shingle Creek.

Yamil left Puerto Rico not knowing what was ahead. He was the primary cook at home and had always been interested in working in a kitchen.
