She’s trying to move to another part of town where the water isn’t well water. This is right at the edge of Appalachia, she’s living on about 14K a year (plus what I can scrape together and send up when I can) with 3 kids. The owner of the home she’s renting now is letting the bank take it, so she kinda has no choice but to move somewhere else. The thing is, these fracking/NG companies bring in jobs, so if they were to get sued, on the off chance the poor people would win(hahahaha) then there go the only halfway decent jobs in the area. These fucking companies know that shit going in. The house she’s about to leave is literally falling apart, the roof leaks, the basement floods every time it rains, etc, etc. So in a way, the foreclosure is a blessing for her and the kids, since it’s not really their house. Her dad owns a slightly better house in a part of town with a better water supply, it’s just getting him off his ass to help her(long sad story involved there, suffice it to say he’s an asshole) get things right so she can get moved. I hate living 850 miles away.
