A church or charity may help so it would be worth looking into.
You could do all this in two days with screaming grandchildren, needy children, and a crying elderly mother? My hat goes off to you.

Seriously, you make a good point. I hope she'll be able to defend herself enough to be able to continue caring for her family. I'm extremely worried about them too.

To Anyone...

If it were your mother, children, and grandchildren....would you have faith the authorities would take good care of them while you're gone - and return them to you in good condition when you return?
