That's awful, thank goodness they have a kind caregiver in their life like you to help support them.

I too would find a balance between what I can afford to do and what line I need to stick with as far as payment.

I would suggest that they bring the baby when they need to over the next few weeks and let them know that we will work out payment later. It's just important right now that the baby has consistency and they have somewhere to put the baby while they are dealing with this nightmare!

Keep the child close, it gives them a reason to continue to update you.

I believe in reaching out to your community if they need it. And quite honestly, if someone in my community had this problem and they weren't one of my clients, I would offer my services for whatever they need while they get back on their feet.

i hope this gives them a fresh start. And I hope they are the kind of people that will repay you for your kindness when they can.
