me/f4113570 Hi there, I'm just going to tell y story and hope I can get some help.
I have a brother in law that has left me with 2 of his kids back in April, still to this very day I still have these kids.
We are now going through a DSS case, but it seems that DSS wants to drag things along, and I'm just not getting anywhere with asking them for financial help.
Their dad has sent me a total of $60.
00 within the last month and Their mom, well she is homeless living in a tent in a city nearby.
We are struggling with no food hardly and not to mention their Christmas.
He didn't send no money for their birthdays or anything.
Now like I said, we are going through a DSS case, but it just seems like they are taking forever in getting whatever it is they have to do to get these kids financially setup and situated in my home.
Please take a moment to ask questions, etc.
And help me get these kids the Christmas these 2 babies deserve and help me get a good thanksgiving and I just really need help for the holidays.
Their names are Christian (7 years old ) and his younger sister named Melynda.
Not to mention I also have 3 kids of my own that have just had to get used to dealing with the lack of help from their dad, and realizing I have to help these 2 babies.
It's just really alot.
Please if you could ask questions or concerns.
I just need this help desperately.
Thank you
