A 78-year-old grandmother has reportedly spent the last two years living in a bus terminal, waiting for her children to collect her.

María de Jesús Mundo claims she was evicted from her rented home a couple of years ago.

She has since been waiting for one of her three kids to get her from the bus terminal she now calls home.

María said she relies on the goodwill of passing commuters for food but has been forced to beg or sing for money to buy adult diapers, as her health is deteriorating, and she suffers from incontinence.

The gran is often seen wandering around the bus station with a walking cane, carrying her belongings in several plastic bags that never leave her side.

She cleans herself in nearby hotels and is recognised by her lilac-coloured hoodie, sleeveless blue jacket, black sweatpants and crocs.

María claims to have spent the last two years at the CAPU bus terminal in Puebla City, located southeast of the Mexican capital Mexico City.

The state authorities have offered to provide shelter for the gran but she has declined, saying she prefers to wait for her family at the station, as reported by Need To Know.

The social services department has issued a bulletin on social media to find her family, accompanied with a photo of the elderly mother.

The statement said: “Please help us locate the relatives of Mrs María de Jesús, who is currently in a vulnerable situation within the facilities of the Puebla bus station called CAPU.”

She named her three children as Víctor Manuel Rivas Mundo, Marina Guadalupe Rivas Mundo and Alma Rivas Mundo.

María claims she lost contact with her now adult children several years ago.

They have provided contact details for anyone with information about her relatives to come forwards.
