Grace’s Mom: I have really fallen on hard times; my parents are helping us out as much as they can, but they don’t have much to share. I can’t find employment that pays enough for childcare and car costs. Family Service helped with rent when we were being evicted. They also give us the greatest food boxes including meat and milk. Thank you!
