Pretend it’s $10 per meal. Per kid. And there’s 2 kids. $60 per day every day of the month to feed both kids gruel. Because gruel is all they’ll get for $60 a day. $60 times 30 days is $1800. And that’s JUST FOOD. You add clothes, you add supplies, you add missing wages because you can’t work when they’re sick. Various forms of childcare that isn’t free. Kids need toys, they need books, they need something to keep them from being stunted developmentally. $1600 on his half is nothing.
