Rosa saves a little lunch for later.
Today she could come to eat her lunch, yesterday, no.
Her feet swell and sometimes she must stay in bed.
Where once she'd sold food at the market or door to door, piling fruit into baskets to weigh on her head, now she must wait for someone to wait on her.
Her daughter is getting on in age as well: at 60 she washes other's clothes and sells in a store.
She makes enough to feed her own family, but not her mother, who depends on the lunch she receives.

When I ask Rosa what she needs she says food, sugar, beans.
