I brought a kid home with me

I always knew I would be bringing students in if I could, but I never thought it would become a reality until today. One of my kindergarten students is staying at my house this weekend and her two siblings are staying with another teacher.

Their family has been through the ringer. Momma abandoned the family in December. Daddy can't get over it and drags the kids out searching for her when they should be in school. Dad has been unemployed until today and they got evicted yesterday. My heart breaks for the pain dad must be feeling but he needs to pull it together. There is no doubt in my mind that he loves his kids. I hope he can use his time this weekend to get it together and take time for himself.

Please pray for this family. Pray that dad would know the hope that is found in God alone. Also, if you feel compelled to donate anything, it would be welcome. The children are in need of clothes and hygiene items (pre-k boys items, k girls items, and 2nd grade girls items). I can get specific sizes if you're interested.
