i just returned from another vacation in the dr. i have met many people there and am always interested in the local people and their living.
i am always confused in trying to figure out exactly how people live and survive.
I have asked people and i constanly get the answer that the single mothers work the street but i do not belive that.
one lady i know lives in la union with her three children. i know there rent is about 5000rd. i know she is not working the streets as she is always home.
when i visited her family i noticed that they were out of gas. very little food in the house. she bought a loaf of bread and the kids seemed to go after it with a bit of jam like they had not eaten for days.
i took her to the local grocery store, and bought some milk, some rice and some meat..and a few other things and the cost was over 1200 rd.
there does not seem to be any means of support from her ex husband and she is sick and cannot work.
if anyone can tell me how people like this do survive i would like to know. i try to help some myself but cannot take on more...
our maid is another matter...she works part time for us, 3 half days a week and we give her 4500rd. we try to help out extra when we can. i know she makes a bit of tips on the cleaning but i dont think her total wages and tips would be more than 7000rd per month...i often wonder how she survives and raising 5 children
any knowledge and insite is appreciated.
thanks.
