00:21Every day, she worries about these vehicles to earn money.
00:26In her job as a parking attendant,
00:28her income is not enough to feed her family.
00:33No.
00:34I'm the only one living in a parking lot.
00:37It's not enough because I only earn a little.
00:40It's not enough to buy food.
00:43The four of them are only able to afford to buy food for their family.
00:47There's nothing to buy because the parking lot is just enough to buy a meal
00:52and rice.
00:54It's not enough.
00:55That's why the four of us share one meal.
01:00This is also the situation of Felipe.
01:02It's not easy to find enough food.
01:06Yes, it's a little.
01:08It's really hard.
01:11It's like that.
01:11It's not enough to buy food.
01:13That's why Felipe's wife discarded the leftover food from the restaurant she works at.
01:20Even so, Felipe is thankful because they feel the pain of the government.
01:26The four of them are greatly helped by their expenses
01:29as well as the President's program.
01:32There are discounts.
01:33There are a lot of people who work in the four of us.
01:38We don't get paid at home.

02:27Keef has been looking for a job as a rider for four years.
02:31He still needs to do overtime to eat enough.
02:35That's why he leaves early to work.
02:39If it's a normal eight hours, I can't do it.
02:42Now, I can do it for 12 hours.
02:45For Keef, he really needs to do overtime to meet the budget.
02:49I don't eat lunch anymore.
02:52I usually eat vegetables.
02:55It's really cheap.
