Myself, Jessica at the age of 18 about 7 months pregnant with my baby girl Abigail

My parents on their farm. As you can see we aren't the richest, but the love has always been there in the family.

The Stock Market had slowly reached its way to our farm and our family. Little did we know that it would effect us so heavily. People weren't buying many products at all, so we were losing money with no gain.

As my pregnancy drew nearer, the family was losing money quick. Trying to keep everyone healthy and me eating for 2 was a very big struggle that we even had before the Crash.

With the new arrival of my baby Abigail, we were very low on money. The farm was being drained of having no money possibly coming in. Everyone was perfectly happy with the new arrival though. We even had to eat at Soup Lines.

My older brother ended up marrying a nice woman after one month of knowing her and taking over as the little girl's father. They had a shared income together so what ever left over money he had, he would give to the family with no complaints.
