Family 7
The mother of the family passed away tragically and unexpectedly this past year due to health complications. Due to circumstances, the father has had some challenges holding a job which, as a result, has led to a lack of a steady income. Every morning when I see this family, the father has a smile on his face despite the tragedy their family has faced this year, among multiple other challenges. I have known the father’s son through preschool and he as well is an absolute joy. The father’s daughter is trying to cope the best she can losing her mother while she navigates through the difficult years of middle school. They are all trying their very best to get through everyday while grieving their mother and wife. The father’s mother-in-law sacrificed greatly to move to Utah to help her son-in-law raise these children. The mother-in-law has some health complications that makes it difficult to help with the day-to-day responsibilities in helping raise the two children.
The father gives everything he has to his children. He gives every effort he has in trying to provide the best he can for his family. As I’ve come to know this family over the years, the father has mentioned it can be difficult to provide the basic needs for his son and daughter. When I see the father on a daily basis, he doesn’t have adequate clothing for himself that is suitable for cold temperatures. I can see the life-shattering heartbreak in the father because his wife was his best friend and they loved raising their children together. The father has a huge burden on his shoulders of raising these two children and helping them with the basic necessities would ease that burden greatly.
