Amirkala Devi Janakpurdham 4, Kataiya Chauri

“There is no income. But the mouths to feed are still there. I am lost thinking how do we get by? Even to manage two meals a day is difficult. My husband drives a cart but after the lockdown that has stopped too, so he just stays at home gazing at the ceiling. I used to sell some vegetables and fruits but now that has stopped too. I have children at home and they understand our situation and tell us not to worry. But there are no parents in the world who do not worry about their children and their future. After this is over I think we will be okay. We will go back to working on our daily jobs and to our daily wages. We are workers and money earners. And we are not used to hoping and waiting for someone to come give us food. But now, we have no choice.”
