Working....

By: Jessie K
Missouri, Grade: 7

Father has been struggling to find work to support his 7 kids... Our house is hardley even big enough. We have 2 rooms so all of us kids have to share a room. I've been working around the house and babysitting so mother and father can go out and find work. The more I help it seems like that harder it gets... I wish that we can get through this stage quickly so we can get a new home and hopefully enough food to feed all of us... Sometimes I don't even eat because the littler kids need there food more than I do. Well write later the baby's crying
