Ana
“It is very sad and it is very difficult to deal with, we can’t see light at the end of the tunnel… The issue of shortage in Venezuela affected not only my family in Venezuela but also us that are away; it affects me I am suffering from chest pain.”
Theresa
“When I was stressed by a lack of medicines for my mom; I could not think of anything else, you can think about absolutely nothing else. I had neck pain, backaches and headaches and I didn’t want to do anything else, absolutely nothing else.”
Erika
“You have a double life you have to see what is happening. There are times you go without sleep because you are checking social media to see what is happening in Venezuela; the next day you are destroyed and exhausted at work.”
Angel
“It is really hard, there’s a constant anxiety and worry that you feel being on this side of the world because on my side I am thinking, will the box arrive; and on their side, will we receive it? And if not, how I can I get what they need?
Mariana
“I have to constantly monitor the bank accounts of my family to ensure they have enough money to buy food. I call them frequently to check if they have eaten properly. If I don’t send money, they won’t eat three times a day or they’ll eat badly”
Yo
“Conversation has turned into which products and medicines cannot be found, it’s impossible to escape. I feel my head; my neck and shoulders are so tight that they will break. Sometimes I am so tormented I want to say don’t tell me more stories.”
Valentina
“I cannot sleep and I am always worried about my family. It is sad that I live far from my family and I cannot spend time with my children but I need to stay here to earn money to send home.”
