Just a few weeks ago,
Playa Basito used to be an idyllic little beach town.
Snack shops along the beach, thatched roof stores that sold swimwear.
Now, dozens of people are sleeping outdoors in those same restaurants.
On the hills, many of the high-rises that looked out upon the Caribbean have crumbled.
And the focus for all the neighbors is 10-year-old Moises.
His dad, Rene Ramirez, has been here for seven days digging by hand with neighbors, trying to find him under the rubble of his apartment.
He's the middleman of my three children.
He's my middle child.
When the earthquake struck, he was at home with his two brothers and his mom.
They ran toward the door as the earth started shaking.
His mom says when things started falling on her, she made eye contact with Moises.
But he ran back into the house to try to save the family dog.
Ramirez's wife and his two other kids were rescued from the wreckage hours after the quake.
Without thinking, Ramirez slips into the past tense.
Moises was a lovely, sweet kid, very playful.
He was deaf and mute, but the whole neighborhood knew him because he found a way to make people laugh.
His cousin, Alejandro Ramirez, says he would start joking as soon as he saw you.
I didn't understand a thing, but he still made me laugh.
As we talk, the neighbors working on the dig find some of his belongings.
