“This cost a living really getting to me now. Well it getting to me long now but now is like me head spinning. I don’t know if to turn left or right. Poor people can’t make it no more in this place. Soon we will just have to give up.”
The words of a mother of three who had just left a city market with a few small black plastic bags in her hands. Those bags, she said, contained $5,000 in purchases, which she said would not last her family a week.
“Now tell me where would I get more money from? I just get pay, you know, and the next two weeks when I get pay is for bills so I don’t know what will happen or how me and my children will survive,” she said.
