I began reading the article and my blood was boiling.....then I read this little gem, "I am currently homeless and looking for someone to take my five kids until I can find a job and a place to live,” “I called DSS and they won’t take them. The shelter has a waiting list and Urban Ministries won’t let you work if you come there. I am a certified nursing assistant but can’t find work due to numerous doctor’s appointments because my 6-year-old accidentally hung himself. Please help anyone.”

It seems like she got her request met. Hopefully not only will she get the help she asked for by the county, but the time to do the things she needs to do to help her out as she wants.
