77 years old. Partially disabled due to a head-on car collision. Wife 75% disabled (botched spinal surgery, 50% loss of teeth, cataracts, and hooked on illegal Oxycodone.) Helping to raise three grandchildren. His son works, but part time and is an alcoholic. Son's wife (separated, not divorced) can't keep a job and is an alcoholic.

They get the kids every other week-end b/c son lives with them and has no home of his own.

Barely enough money to have food for the kids when they stay over.

My friend has to "borrow" money from his sister to get gas in his vehicle.

Tragic.
