Balling my eyes out rn. A 17 year old kid just knocked on our front door in East Austin. He asked if he could pull weeds or do other yard work. I love this type of hustle just like the rest of you so of course I agreed.

I stepped outside to chat with him. Life got crazy. He explained that his mother died last week and he needed the money to get his brother and sister to their aunt's in Dallas.

Their mother was everything to them. She relocated to AUS post Katrina. His father has been incarcerated for the last decade and no family here.
