“I don't waste much,'' said Lourdes Velasquez, 27, of Reseda, with her 2-year-old daughter in tow. “I buy what's on sale.''
Velasquez, a single mom who is seven months pregnant, earns $1,200 a month at a Kmart in North Hollywood. She must pay $800 for rent and has no medical insurance or car. She gets no child-support payments, she said. “If I didn't have my mom (to baby-sit), I'd be living on the street,'' she said.
