People walk past Modesto Sotero (2nd R), 82, and his wife Maria Josefina Perez (R), 81, sitting together outside the truck they have been living in for the last nine years underneath a bridge in Monterrey, Mexico, on September 29, 2014. Sotero and Perez have been living in a truck underneath a busy bridge for the last nine years after Sotero had a stroke and underwent surgery, and they ran out of funds. They live on a small pension Modesto receives from his former job as a newspaper journalist, and by begging from passing drivers. They have no children or other family members, and they own no property beside the truck and a few personal items, but they both say that they are happy living the way they do.
