"Our daily view is that the crisis has not improved, we believe that this is becoming more severe as time goes by.

We had 100 families who, in order to receive from the food bags given by the government, we present the forms and then gave them to the families. That is now suspended, they are not going to give it to them and we don't know how they are going to sustain it. What the references say is that the people have already begun to go to work and no longer need it and that they are going to gradually cut off certain benefits, which is not a benefit, it is a right in this situation that a state should fully assist without looking at each one.

Week by week the crisis increases and this is what one sees about how the commercial and labor field is handled. Some folks get a pittance of the aid and have to mobilize to get it... it's sad in the face of the pandemic where the state should be assisting without asking. It is the city government that is doing these things and the truth is that what are we going to do? we continue to work day by day and time passes and people are relaxing in terms of care, but we know that the evil, the plague, the virus continues and it is complicated, although there are people who don't believe it so much, it is still a concern. I am very worried, one sees the information and the economy is falling apart.

The truth is that in the face of the crisis I no longer see answers. I do see movement from the families who have to go out because they have to see a way to have money, they are looking for it. We, the community kitchens, have no support and we don't talk about food, we talk about human resources, nobody came to tell us 'you work well, we're going to give you an incentive, to improve your quality of life'. In this situation of the pandemic, we have put body, soul, and life in a society with high vulnerability and we do not know if the government takes this into account or not, if they listen to us or not. But we do have controls, they come and control the beneficiaries, those who work as volunteers but never give an answer, they only ask.It is like routine, habit, and people are only asked questions but they do not respond with facts, not even minimally, motivating the teams that work.

The truth is that I am very worried, I am very worried about the rise of the dollar, the fall of our economy, the fall of everything, the dollar rises and you can't buy anything. We had as a project building improvements and they approved our money that two months ago they tell us they are going to give but they have not done it. Two months ago it was one value, last week another, and today it is no longer enough for anything.  If you give it to me today, I'll start tomorrow, and when they give it to us, it's just pennies.

And I'm talking about our community center, which is a medium-size institution where the team puts everything, puts 100%. Everything is administered, the state funds that approve some project for us, everything. This year it has been difficult, this year the issue of gas, the misery that they contribute for the community groups and you can't afford to pay for the gas, we paid 2300 a month ago and today 3600. They give us two small boxes from the government and they give us a half-liter bottle, a 750-gram detergent, and since we don't have enough, we have to spend the money they give us and we still don't get it. It is fundamental to sanitize our center, we come, we are in contact with people, we are always exposed. This can only be resolved by taking a gamble, with the government recognizing that the situation is critical and not by giving crumbs. We are passing through mid-October, close to December and one sees the businesses with very little sales, people go out to buy food and put their last coins there, for sure some may have other expenses but the truth is that there are many who are not even able to buy food, there are people who used to work and now are limited, they do not have a stable job, they are very limited and this is detrimental to the family basket, to the family group. In a couple of years, we have to evaluate these crises, we have to evaluate how the children are being malnourished, we will see how the children are fed today and the consequences for society."
