They might break up the family and take the kids... :-(
They might be better off, but would it be the right thing to do?
The children seem healthy enough, (we have VERY good and active food
banks
in this area so nobody starves) and they go to school. There is
another house down the way with a sign in the front yard that says
"free clothes every Friday".
I give them all my unwanted clothing since they give them away for
free.
Medicade does not pay for dental care. Neither does the VA.
