They live in a family home in the city of Portoviejo which was affected by the earthquake of April 16, 2016. The city is rich in production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruit for domestic consumption.

Lady Liceth is a teacher in a public institution. She works Monday to Friday and is paid monthly for her work. In her free time, in her house she sells vacuum-sealed fish by the pound that she buys in a factory. Her customers order in advance and she delivers to homes.
