“Everything going up but not my salary. Sometimes it is like real headache when I get pay because you have so much to do but you know the money can’t do and you wondering what you have to leave out,” she told me with a sad smile. “I know it affecting everybody but I could only talk about me and how hard it is for me and them children.”
