The stress of trying to raise a family on a limited income takes a toll. Bob and Bo say they are doing their best to raise their family of three - Kaylia, age 11, Bobby, 8, and Ryne, 7 - with dignity and moral values while living in a trailer home. Bob was told Minnesota had many jobs so he moved here, only to find work earning $7 to $10 an hour. The family pays $300 a month for utilities and $200 to rent land for their trailer, leaving little left for necessities such as clothing and food.
