Right now, Alan and Andono are doing the absolute best they can to keep their lives moving. They've been hit hard since the economy has gone downhill, but they've managed to stay afloat by being positive. The one thing I would suggest would be to find a job with good health insurance. That way they have one less thing to worry about and Andono can take her proper medications. They are really terrific role models for anyone who is living in poverty right now because they are doing the best they can while also trying to make a better life for their kids by sending them to college.
