I need to eat. If I was to foster children, they need to eat. There is no way around that. Food is essential. If I live by myself, I will buy the food the same way I do now. I will go to a grocery store, by 15 meals, and come home. Those 15 meals will cover for my food for the month. If I was to have a foster child(ren), then I will likely do grocery shopping once a week. If I had my auto, I will drive to the store I normally go to for the grocery shopping. Otherwise, I will pay my friend for her time and effort. She will get a little more than what I give now because she will have to travel further to get to me. I will hope that I will be able to get my own automobile and driver’s license.
