We have a large family that can be counted on for most every need that might come up. It always makes me wonder how people who are isolated without a network of family and friends handle emergencies.
What do you do if your child is sick and can't go to school or day care? What happens if you have no-one close to step in so you don't lose a day's work? There have got to be countless numbers of people in this situation and, even worse, it's usually a single mother working at a low income job.
Some of these mothers are so worn out from working and taking care of their children that they have no time to socialize so friendships might be rare. Many people have no ties to their family at all, some by choice and others by necessity.
This is just one of those things that worry me but where I see no easy solution.
