I Need: Dimas and Chin Quivers

i need: Someone from the government already has promised aid, but Dimas' chin quivers at the thought of accepting it, according to Toronto Star. I don't want the help, said Dimas, 55. The storm peeled open the roof of the old mobile home where they live with their 18-year-old twins, and it destroyed another one they rented to migrant workers in Immokalee, one of Florida's poorest communities. But I need it. Their options, already limited, were narrowed even further when the hurricane destroyed possessions, increased expenses and knocked them out of work. Dimas is one of millions of Floridians who live in poverty, and an untold number of them have seen their lives upended by Irma. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
