Me and my husband have been  doing foster care for almost 4 years. At this time we have no foster children. I started a free clothes closet for our community with the help of our community and carl perkins. While doing this I meet a lady that has 3 small children 5, 2 and 9 months; they are homeless, jobles, and carless. We tried everywhere I know to get help for this family. She has a past so no one wants to help her. I gave her a list with some off the wall things to do. She galdy done them without questioning anything. She is trying really hard to get away from old friends and has no family to help.The 5 y/o girl  had missed 11 days of school while the moher searched for help to find a home and a way to get her child into school. My family had a family meeting and took the family in. They have been with us for 3 weeks now and our home is getting smaller with 9 people living there. We are all trying to make the most of it, but the big goals is to get her and her children a place to call their own. The are no job and our county has 1 of the highest unemployment numbers in our state. She starting to lose hope. I don't know what else to do. The few organizations that we have locally for help, have told her to go to DCS and turn her children over to the state and walk away.  What is wrong with this country, that we can go help people around the world and not help our own people that live here in the USA. Any and all help will be greatly appericated. I just keep reminding everyone that GOD will not give us more than we can handle. We must keep the faith in the LORD.
