When he had to liquidate his home to cover her medical expenses, things took a turn for the worst.

He was unable to keep his employment due to his expensive cost to care for his wife.

Living in an apartment in Oakland was out of Sean’s price range. He and his family were forced to relocate to a nearby tent community.

He had no idea his life would take a turn for the worse; it felt like a nightmare. Without a job, he felt trapped and helpless and each day seemed worse than the previous…

In Oakland, a pricey city, Sean could only work part-time in the mornings while his children were in school, but it wasn’t enough to get by.

To make things worse, he was still having trouble paying off a few bills. The requirements were not met, even though a generous neighbor offered to watch the children for an hour after school.

“What? I can’t do that. My kids. Look at me. I’m…nothing.”

Sean found himself in a difficult situation; he needed a job so bad to support his family.

Even though he felt helpless, he went about his days, making meets end with barely enough money to feed his children.

He would frequently starve to guarantee that his children would have enough to eat.

On a specific day, Sean departed from his workplace and headed towards the closest petrol station.
