In this Sept. 9, 2018 photo, Gilberto Cosme Rodriguez takes one of his 10 a day asthma treatments to help him breathe, inside his home still covered with a tarp after FEMA assistance failed to cover the cost of fixing his roof that was torn off by last year's Hurricane Maria in Naranjito, Puerto Rico. Rodriguez, who has one working lung due to pulmonary fibrosis triggered by the use of chemicals when he worked in construction, said every morning he needs treatment to get out of bed. On a pension of $300 dollars, Rodriguez said it's barely enough to buy medicine. "I start the day like a dead person because of this lung problem," he said. (AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa)
