down most of their US operations... poof. There goes all of their business.

Unfortunately my dad isn't really working right now either, (he was recently hired as a substitute teacher, but he's new enough that he's rarely called in.) so all of a sudden they're going to go from one income with occasional supplements from my dad to no income with occasional supplements.

And they can't just sell the house and move somewhere cheaper because my little sister is in her last semester of school before she goes off to college and they don't want to screw that up.
