True Story

Christopher and Family

"

Christopher’s Mom: “We moved to Montana a couple of years ago because of the oil boom. No work in the Bakken or Wyoming now, so we are waiting for things to swing up again. Until then, my husband and I have only about 20-25 hours of work each. Family Service makes it possible to afford our rent by providing food for our family.
