Response writing about a mother that only has $8 to feed her kids.

Response writing:

Dear writer/Amy Shanks.

I think that this article about Kelly isn't that surprising  for some people, especially if she has only $8 to feed her family, and the rest of the money to pay the rest of the bills. I also think that people should help her.

Kelly also needs to cut some of her bills, seeing that she doesn't need some, like the Mechanic because her car isn't damaged yet.

I am also sorry for her and her children, and people like Kelly at least should get some proper things, like proper food and clean water. I also think that if she has a beachside house, that she might have money.
