"I don't get no help 'cept what my daughter gives me. I can't get no Old

Age Pension. I never did get nothin' for my father. My mother didn't

either. He was killed in the war, but they didn't give nobody nothin'

for his death. They told me they'd give me something and then they told

me they wouldn't. I'm dependent on what my daughter does for me. If I

was back in Mer Rouge, I wouldn't have no trouble gettin' a pension, nor

nothin' else.
