Description: This image shows the struggle of a Mexican family. The women are sleeping on the floor, indicating that they don't have a bed. The many blankets and long layers indicate that that's the only thing keeping them warm. The child is looking at the sleeping women. However, the women seem exhausted like she is tired from working or maintaining the house and kids. There does not seem to be many pots or house appliances around them, showing they don't have money to afford them. They are barely keeping afloat; the two pots show they are poor but still trying their best to live.
