There are a ton of jobs in Dallas, and there are a ton of jobs in less expensive parts of TX.

I know for a fact that Dallas and Fort Worth have active food banks were the poor can get groceries and other emergency supplies. There is even help available with the utilities. Many of the churches also supply food. No one should be having to panhandle in that area. There are jobs, maybe not the type that he had. If I were this family, I would get all of the help that I could from food banks etc. I would have her stay at home with the child. She could perhaps do childcare for one other child and help pay the bills? I would work two jobs if I had to. I would beg someone to hire me. If a foreign illegal immigrant can find work, so too could they!
