Abstract

This article is a fragment of an ethnographic thesis which seeks to understand the uses and sense
attributed to international money transfers linked to women’s/mothers’ plans and expectations.
A specific family economy is analyzed, for which the uncertainty of life gives rise to cleverness
and expectations about diverse aid which generates exchange with different people. These distinct
aids allow a redress to a deficit economy, and generates new expectations.
