My parents knew this was coming they had my husband, myself and my two small children move to the island a little over a year ago. When they left Southern Oregon in the spring of 2005 to the BI.
My Husband and I found ourselves slowly slipping down where we were no longer able to just live. We have never had cable, had one cell phone, had one vehicle. He had been riding his bike to work 6 days a week 6 miles to and 6 miles home each day. He left the car for me to beable to transport the cildren in case of emergency. We worked our schedule to where I was able to work a part-time job in the morning and we did have to pay for child care. We still were unable to make it.
So Here we are living with my mother and father we have one vehicle one cell phone no cable (I prefer internet) and we are in better shape. Closer to Family, Warm in the winter, and vegetables and fruit to eat.
We have been here a little over a year and been looking for work and yet no luck. Very difficult to get a job here on the BI.
We have cut out what we did not need and we have done our part, What is there left for us to do?
