Well I am open to suggestions for this particular family, because they are real, not hypothetical, and live in Wildwood.
Family members:
Mother/grandmother, age 63. Physically and mentally Dysfunctional.
Daughters: age 33, severe narcolepsy, learning disabled, attempting to get GED while working PT in food service, mother of two.
Age 22, in college. Recently began subsidized work at college.
Grandchildren ages about 7 and 12.
Live in3 br house. Grandmother was approved recently for SSDI.
As a social worker, it was fairly easy to tell lazy takers from the truly needy.
To say that everyone has equal opportunity bootstraps or that everyone should get free cell phones?
Neither shows a balance of wisdom...
