Woman with disability survived typhoon in Philippines

Joy Becana operates a small store in Estancia, in the Philippines province of Iloilo. A survivor of childhood polio, she lost part of her store and home during Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda, in November 2013. Her damaged residence became a shelter for neighbors who totally lost their homes.
