My family is a grandmother taking care of her 5 grandchildren and the case is moving and they will be in her care. Her washing maching is broken and I was trying to see if we could get help for her to find another on as the kids are young and there is alot of laundry and the washing place is expensive. I looked at lowes and they range from 450-800 dollars and have some on sale.

The sessions are 208.00 a session, and the mom feels that if he goes to a couple and she can observe that she will be able to work with her son alone

Children's Division has been working with this family of a single mother, four children (aged 9, 8, 5, and 4), and a dog. Mom works nights and is supported by a cousin who helps care for the children. The three eldest children are enrolled in school and the youngest is going to start school next year.
