Spanish term or phrase: Ahí paso aquí
Nicaraguan woman on a news broadcast

"esta mujer cuida de su hija de ocho meses y manda a sus dos hijos mayores a pedir dinero en las calles. Su esposo hace más de un mes que no tiene trabajo. Esta familia sobrevive con menos de un dólar por día. 'Entonces ellas me ayudan para la comida. Hay veces me dan, hay veces no me dan. Así ahí estoy. Ahí paso aquí con los chavales'"

Thanks
