Oh a little leftover cash to help the parents would be nice too, but the kids are my main concern (their's too I'm sure)
These are not people who aren't willing to work and do everything they can to help themselves. You can read any post I've made about my DUG and see I have no patience for that. These are really good people who are working really hard and have just fallen on some VERY rough times. I know that they had to pawn the title to the car (the one that just broke down) to help cover last months rent.
They love S and J and do the very best they can for them. They are really a great family.
The mom is working as a CNA at the nursing home (she just started a few weeks ago, that's why I get to keep these great kids) and always has a smile and a positive attitude. J says his mom always tells him that everything will be fine. God is just building their faith right now. The dad is great too. He works really long and hard hours but from what I've seen always makes time for the kids.
It isn't that they aren't trying and doing all they can do. I think they just fell into a hole and having a very hard time climbing out of it.
