The Brown family moved to Toronto in 1997. George, the father, had been a
mechanic for fifteen years. He had his own garage and two employees working for
him. George�s wife, Martha, has been a housewife all her life. She finished
high school, got married to George in 1990, and immediately became pregnant.
Martha and George have two sons; Adam and Michael who are eight and three
respectively.
Life has not been easy for the Browns in Toronto. George has been struggling
to find a job as a mechanic without success. He has managed to hold seasonal
jobs whenever he can find them, but most of the time he is unemployed. The
savings the Browns brought with them to Toronto dried up five months ago and the
family�s income went down to $900 net monthly. They have been on welfare for
the past three months and their income is topped up with an additional $900 net
per month.
