(CNN) -- Fabiola Leocal's story ought to be uncommon, but in post-earthquake Haiti, it's not. All she has left of her previous life are a stack of photographs and a few other things scavenged off the rubble of the building she called a home. When the catastrophe struck, as the Haitians say, her house tumbled, along with many others that dotted the hillside in the Port-au-Prince neighborhood of Canape Vert. Her husband of nine years, Rene, was crushed under concrete. She lived in a camp for a while but returned to where she belonged. Now she has a tin shack and memories -- photographs carefully tucked away in loose, laminated photo album pages of herself and Rene. He, in a suit. She, in a much finer dress than the black sleeveless top and printed skirt she has on now.
