think for a second what it means to be truly stranded no power no water no communication stuck. it's been weeks since hurricane maria and the people of rio feeling left behind, camp of the forgotten. there's only one way in and it's not easy if you knew how much i hated heights. oh marianne luciano has lived here 25 years

now, she's trapped here, too scared to make the climb down the ladder it's a nightmare. >> it is, waking up without no bridge this is our only fwha and nowhere out. >> when hurricane maria hit, a 47 inch surge wiped out the bridge >> the water little was up to here in. >> yep. >> it took almost a week for the first rescue workers to arrive federal response has been criticized as too little too, late >> they say that for july i will get like >> for july? >> that's seven months from now. >> that's seven months from now. >> so imagine how we will keep living >> the storm may have taken her bridge, but it gave her a new purpose. she volunteered to manage all relief supplies for her neighbors. how many people live in this area >> in this area, we have 100

>> you are responsible for >> 125 people. >> are you the mayor now in. >> that's what they say. but i'm not the mayor. bye. >> maybe not the mayor, but to the families here, she's at least a saint. and remember that shopping cart? so how does all the get here >> okay. all this gets here is by that little cart. >> nobody asked marilyn to do this she just stepped up. >> my sisters and my mum they made me cry, because they said i was a he. >> reporter: i told my mom, i'm not a hero >> this is how the real work is getting done if puerto rico, by people, like marlin. oh, all right. >> i don't think i'm going to look lot down. >> is that your advice do you want to come with me? >> sorry i'll give you a hug and say bye, my darling

20 minutes from that broken bridge, they're working around the clock at the national guard base, bringing help to some of the hardest hit regions? all of puerto rico for people out here, getting to a clinic or a hospital isn't just difficult, it's nearly impossible so the doctors must come to them astrid is psychologist and this is the nurse and this is the doctor. they are volunteers who travel with the national guard, treating patients who haven't had help since the storm whamt are you mostly seeing? hydration issues >> hypertensive. >> diabetes, cancer. >> also the ptsd post-traumatic distress order. they don't have food, they don't have water they don't have jobs >> they lose everything in their

house. >> they started as strangers, now they call themselves the three musketeers, united by maria. today they're joined by a local doctor, luis cortez and me all right. are you ready to go? >> yes >> okay. let's go we're headed to a remote village of the mountains and, man, this is one seriously off house call t. storm ripped through the center of the island, swallowing roads, causing mudslides i didn't see a single power line standing how far up the mountain are we almost to the top? >> not even. not even close. >> are you comfortable, right? normally it would be fine, because we lost one of the bridges, we need to go another way, reroute it will take us one hour >> a few miles in, we have to leave the big trucks behind. they won't make it up the

narrow, mudd-out roads this is a logistics nightmare, but at the end of the day, you see people doing real good trying to bring care to one person at the top of the mountain, one of the persons at the national guard said they traveled three hours to take care of one person right now mother nature is kicking our [ bleep ]. >> it looks like an f4 tornado hit tornadoes. this caught us completely out of whack. after two hours, we finally reach our first patient. >> come with us. >> this is gladys. she has been waiting on this porch since 4 is:00 a.m. they check her pulse but some vital signs are harder

to measure a few words of encouragement go a long way as the days without power or water wear on, some people are losing hope. depression, anxiety and suicides are on the rise. gladys can't walk. she suffers from ar the tlierkts a re respiratory disease and she smokes s a spin helps to curb blood clots. as you guys see someone like gladys, that could be our grandmother, our mother, our neighbor, like it was hard to be there. honestly, how do you do it >> we suck it up and do the work >> for me, it's more personal. this is milan, these people need me more. >> reporter: the scope of the

disaster is hard to grasp, with no power, hospitals struggle to treat patients after the storm t. official death toll stands at 64 but the actual number is in dispute and may be far higher. almost half the people here have limited access to medical care and there's a critical shortage of doctors add a lack of clean water, rampant mosquitos and raw sewage in the rivers, you have all the makings of a health crisis how many families need help, all of them? >> all of them >> back on the street, we hear shouting from across the river where are they asking for help do you see them? how do you get to them >> the bridge to their neighborhood washed away in the storm, leaving everyone on the other side completely cut off. you have to find the spottial but this way, if you go here, it's steeper t. question isn't if we are crossing, but how?

not down here, but over here we're the strongest nation in the world and we're trying to figure out how to cross a river to bring people diapers and water. 42 days after the hurricane. right here, guys does somebody need help? >> the national guard isn't wasting any time they had to cross with supplies for the family now, it's our turn don't worry about me grab a rock. be careful here. i still want you to hold on. i got her. the young mother leads the way at the top, her sick baby girl she's got a fever and in this 87

degrees heat isn't helping they recommend cold compresses for now, but the if her dever e fever doesn't come down soon, dr. gonzalez said she'll need to go to a hospital t. closest one is two hours away. and back down we go. get on a cane, get on a cane man. is there hope? >> there's us as hope. help needs to continue >> we need more. >> what is important is to show really this is the other side, reality. reality, a huge reality. okay because many people have seen the devastation, but few people have seen that we are really working. >> after 14 hours, they saw just five patients.

there is no way to know how many are still waiting. these folks are getting up in the morning, 4:00, 5:00 in the morning, traveling up a hill, three, four hours, to see patient, by the way when they go home, they don't have power either, or water coming up the hidden disaster, people giving up and moving out. >> i'm not scared, i'm scared to start from zero. this is my home. this is what kills me here, it's my home. i have afib. even for a nurse, it's complicated... and it puts me at higher risk of stroke. that would be devastating. i had to learn all i could to help protect myself. once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. xarelto®... to help keep me protected. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner... ...significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. xarelto® works differently. warfarin interferes with at least 6 blood-clotting factors.

xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your body's natural blood-clotting function. for afib patients well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. it may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you've had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures... ...and before starting xarelto®-about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. it's important to learn all you can... ...to help protect yourself from a stroke. talk to your doctor about xarelto®. there's more to know™.

>> have guys thought about leaving? >> no. >> in the nighttime at 1:00 in the morning, after a long day, after seeing people, you don't think about it at all? >> to be very honest with you, sir, no when i establish communication, something my father told me was home. this is also home. i told my dad, yeah, i know that that's home. that's home. but i'm needed here. directv has been rated number one in customer satisfaction over cable for 17 years running. but some people still like cable.

this is all leaveing >> yes, deliveries orlando. what about that truck? >> massachusetts and connecticut, orlando essentially, what's happening is, people are trying to get out of here, it's kind of ironic that one of the busiest businesses in all of the island is a company that's actually helping people leave the island. can you see who is leaving without stepping inside. let me point something out, mercedes, ford, another mercedes, an ss camaro, big ford, these aren't cheap cars so if 47% of the island is under the poverty level, this is the 53%, these are wage earners, this is the tax base this type of capital is leaving

survivors guilt. >> sometimes i feel, i don't know, i feel like a coward for leaving. >> why >> i feel like, we're abandoning puerto rico, like, i don't know, i have a lot of mixed emotions on that, like leaving everyone behind and knowing that we have, i have a granddaughter, i will leave her behind without power, i will be without power and water and drinking water and you know all the necessities, everyone else needs here, like we're running away from it >> coming up, they've survived the hurricane. now, they face a new threat. are you worried about the living conditions here? >> yeah, mostly because of the garbage.
