Portrait of 87th year old Humberto Bernal thinking about his future.
Humberto Bernals eviction was stopped two years ago. He had an infection, thanks to a friend of thirty years he got hospitalized, then sent to Village Care Nursing Home. After 10 days they said: "you are all better, you have to leave.
"His apartment was a literal shit hole. Smelly, filthy, no paint in 40 years (he has lived there on Horatio since 1957 - he is 87), and his friend didn't want him to go back without a cleanup. They are trying to get him into an assisted living place, while she and Arthur Schwartz worked to put him up in a 30 day furnished apartment.
He left Cuba in 1957 and has lived in a 300 sq ft space since then. He has enough money for a daily 8 hour nurse, so he has company. The problem is, what would have happened if his friend wasn't there, and she didn't call me to pull off fancy footwork with building. He would have gone back and gottemn sick again in his hovel.
