Veronique, 73, is now living in a tented city in Port-au-Prince, and worries how she will support her grandchildren.
"All of us have children to care for"
“I was in my house but the whole house was destroyed. I was sleeping there with five children. I don't have the means to earn money.
Before I used to sell 'Pepe' (second-hand clothes). I have managed to save some of my stock and must start selling it again to make some money.
I am sleeping in a tent with my five grandchildren. I had two cousins that died in the earthquake. Everyone in our family has the same problem – all of us have children to care for.”
