"Two of my children don't talk to me. The other two aren't in a place to help much." She's been living alone 40 years since her husband passed away. She feels depressed, having no one really to talk to, but "not alone. Everyone has an angel." She offsets her medical costs-- for high blood pressure, gastritis, nausea, a heart enlargement, back pain and pain in general-- washing clothes for the Health Center for about $25 a month. She's been washing clothes, it seems, forever, except for when she got sick with pneumonia two years ago. "I really can't stand the pain," she says, "I have to have the medicines."
