]]> María González, aged 67, was a widow and extremely poor. Her situation led her to live with her two grandchildren: Manuel, 20 years old and a low-wage worker at the inn where they live; and Gregorio, 11 years old. Both grandchildren are in her care due to the premature death of their parents. With no help other than charity, her situation brought her no small amount of worry for her and her grandchildren’s future.
