Item description

My name is Cheryl and my son just got custody of his 2 children girl-6 boy-5.I am his mother and I babysit the kids while he works. He is so far in dept and he could use some heroes to help him out.We live in Florida and the mother lives in Georgia. She sent the kids to us bout 4 months ago. She went to jail for 1st degree Arson and we had to go all the way to Georgia to get an emergency temporary custody court order. We have to go back to Georgia August 16th for court for full custody.We really had to go in dept to get what we needed for them and to take care of them. We were living with my sister in a 2 bedroom trailor and when she sent the kids to us we stayed there for a while then he had to rent a house big enough for all of us.(4 bedrooms).Then he had to buy him some transporation because he was using my car to get back and forth. We had to pay a big deposit on the house and have all the utilities cut on plus insurance on the truck plus down payment on truck.The lawyer we hired in Georgia was $1500 but he let us pay $750 and payments on the rest. Not counting the gas it took for us to go up there and back. And now we have to go back again this month. I get only $16 a month food stamps because I was working but now I had to quit my job till school starts so I could babysit the kids while he works.I have reported me not working but I havent heard anything on my food stamps yet. Our groceries run $50-$75 a week.I hope that some heroes will come through for us.Any kind of help for the kids will be appreciated. Clothes, shoes, back packs, socks, or anything else 5 and 6 year olds need to start school.The mother sent nothing with the kids when she sent them to us.Thank you so much for reading this.
