$8 Dollars to Feed the Family.

$8 to feed the family

Mother has $8 dollars left to feed her family.

I feel sad for Kelly because she doesn’t have enough money to feed her 2 teenage daughters, but I sort of don’t feel sorry for her because she lives in a beach side house gets $350 from WINZ and pays bills on things that yet she doesn’t need it to be payed on like paying the mechanic because something might happen to her car and she pays a lot of money on her bills when she can just pay a little bit.
