Seeker, I think what you did was fantastic. The sad reality of this time is that there are families losing their homes everyday and our social services just aren't ready to handle the demand. A two month wait probably isn't unusual, sadly. These stories break my heart -- I wish there was more we could do to help.

So you helped not only care for a woman and her kids but probably also reminded her that there are wonderful, caring people out there and that the world isn't totally awful. Yea for you!
