Mercedes Liz

Mercedes Liz, affectionately known as doña Mecho, is a 72-year-old woman from the Ciudad de Dios neighborhood in Santiago, who has spent her life working in a free zone for 25 years before transitioning to home-based work due to health issues. Recently, she received a visit from Senator Félix Bautista, who provided her family with essential supplies for their Christmas dinner after her heartfelt plea for help was highlighted in a news article. Doña Mecho has faced significant challenges, including difficulties in securing her pension despite years of effort, and she continues to manage her health issues with limited resources.
