They visit her often, and sometimes stay the weekend. She celebrates holidays with them and provides school supplies and clothing as needed. Her biggest need is support by monthly packages with necessities, and someone to engage with her and her kiddos by activities, meals, and groceries. Overall, she would benefit by having someone to walk alongside her while she is on this journey.

She loves her kids but would love a few days a week to have a day to herself.
