Evelyn Jamileth is 20 years old. She's a single mother and has a four-year-old child. They live in Picoaza, a place of hardworking people who work in informal commerce and hope to give their families the best with their work.

She's a hardworking woman who looks for ways to earn her income and, with it, also cover the expenses for her studies as well as get ahead by herself with her young son, because she's both mother and father.

She has a place in her house where afternoons and evenings she sells fast food like burgers, fried potatoes, empanadas, corviches [plantain fritters], sandwiches, fruit smoothies, soda, juice, or water to satisfy the customers who go to her place every day to eat these treats she makes with love.
