Ana María is 23 years old and has just lost everything. 🕊️

When the 7.4-magnitude earthquake brought down the María Elvira building in Cali, she was trapped under the rubble along with her triplet sisters, Sofía and Isabella, and her parents, Jairo and Victoria.

Rescuers first found Jairo and Victoria embracing, then Sofía. Isabella, the last to be found, was discovered dead on the night of August 13.

Ana María survived with pelvic fractures and injuries to her arms. She has already undergone surgery and is now recovering at Clínica Imbanaco, accompanied by cousins and friends who have not left her bedside.

The three sisters had grown up together, studied the same degree and even traveled together to France. Now only one remains, and an entire community is trying to support her. 💔
