By the end of the day [Friday, Sept. 1] we had clothes and food. |
That was one of those deals where they had to spend it on somebody by Oct. 1 or give it back. |
The engine of my car blew up. So there we were by the side of the road, with no way to go any further. |
The ladies at the food stamp office started calling around. And by the time we left the office, we had food and clothes. |
We didn't have any hope, either. |
We knew it would be months before we could go back. |
