A widow with 2 kids(9 & 14), she used to wash people’s clothes around her neighborhood, but because of the pandemic no one is requesting for her or those who hired her to do the washing on weekly bases told her not to come, as they don’t want to let in outsiders into their house.
3 young men (20, 19 & 17). After losing their parents due to death, divorce, & abandonment, they live together and work labor jobs while studying in public schools. Since school is closed they don't have the school feeding program and don't make money as before in their jobs.
A 65-year-old woman, a widow. She looks after a 40-year-old child with Down syndrome and an 8-year-old grandchild. She used to cook for weddings, but as people are canceling every kind of celebration she doesn’t have anything as a source of income.
A mother of 2. Both her children are sick with the younger one who is born with developmental delays. She has to leave her at home to go and get her hands on any job she can find. But now there is less work even though she still runs around trying to feed her family and pay rent.
A 44 years-old female. An old RVI patient who is also epileptic and who has seizures regularly. She has two children (12 & 6). She used to have very small earnings from begging but nowadays, it’s getting difficult to sit on streets.
