Trying to survive

Isla Grande, Esmeraldas, Ecuador

While I was playing with the children, one of the sisters asked me to accompany her to visit an
elderly couple. It was not safe for her to walk alone so I accompanied her. We came to the house of
this couple. The sister told me that they receive a monthly $20 retirement stipend from the
government. I wonder how they are able to survive with so little money since a meal would cost
around $2-3 at the cheapest. The sister reminded them that they must eat before taking their
medicine. The sister had brought them to the doctor a week earlier. With almost nothing in the
house, I wonder what can they eat. They are just skins and bones like so many people I've seen there.
