True Story

Izzy, Issac and Parents

"

TWINS! It sure surprised me when the doctor said twins. It has been hard to get by, especially since daycare is so expensive. But Family Service helps us manage especially with the amazing new little grocery store. The kids love to come with me and pick our food out and it saves us so we can keep up with the rent—most months. When it is birthday time, both kids got a book and a cake! The folks at Family Service rock!
