I have two jobs and I work there almost every day. My daddy just left to move to Hawaii on Sunday. My mom just lost her job and we have been struggling ever since. We had to trade her car in for a cheaper one to keep our house and I help with rent, food, and gas as much as I can. We sometimes have dinner. Like 2 times a week. Now I only have 5 dollars till next Thursday for food.
