Does anyone know which trailer that I am talking about? The trailer sits beside an old run down house and there is always young boys running around the front yard and some ducks. There is also many cars and a bus full of junk sitting on the property. I usually always see the mother walking around the neighborhood with a stroller and her many children. Does anyone know this family and their story??? I am asking because it breaks my heart to see a family living under those awful conditions. One of the younger boys stopped by my house to drop off some cookies that I bought from him. He was selling them for school. My husband had just mowed the lawn and when the little boy was walking away, he picked up a handful of grass and asked if he could keep it. That was so sad. They have no grass in front of their trailer. It's all a muddy mess. I am rather new to this area and don't know anyone around here. I really want to know if I got this family a new trailer and helped them clean up the property....would they appreciate it, care about it and keep it clean? I am just a little concerned about the filth. You can be poor and still be clean. I am not sure that this family wants to live in a clean home. If anyone has any info...please reply. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the info. I never knew that they had anything besides junk. I just can't imagine people wanting to live like that. How sad! Those poor children must get teased every single day of their life. I will keep those children in my prayers. I guess the parents don't have a problem living that way. Every time I see the mother, she always has a smile on her face from ear to ear. I guess they are happy.
