If the kids are Americans, she could have gotten food stamps for them. What about food banks? School breakfast/lunch programs? Churches?
Thank you for stating this. I trust the Lord to provide whether it be through church or other sources. I would consider those places and include begging from family, friends, and strangers on the street. Stealing someone’s social security number and using it to fraudulently obtain food stamps is not something I would ever consider doing, not even for my children.
