Holding a family together in hard times

Just part of the morning ritual, Stace and Janean Lindner work together to dress 5-year-old Turner while he stands on the sofa bed that he shares with two of his brothers.

Janean Lindner wakes and watches her boys asleep in a sofa bed a few feet away.
It’s just after 7 on a Thursday in April. Janean, her husband, Stace, and three of their sons have been at the Ayres Suites in Mission Viejo for 16 nights and 17 days.
Despite her efforts, the room is cluttered — a computer, small television, skateboards, school projects. These are the things that remain.
In the chaos of eviction, Janean became increasingly frantic and they lost nearly everything. At a rushed garage sale, she told buyers to pay what they thought best, believing God would make it fair. She gave most of it away.

“The social workers who used to tell people about us are in line themselves after losing their jobs,” Hensley said.

ESCONDIDO — In an inconspicuous corner of an unremarkable industrial park near Highway 78, Tommy Cruz and his wife Roxann run what could best be described as the polar opposite of a standard supermarket.
Instead of sprawling aisles of hundreds of products, rows of simple wooden shelves filled with one brand of each type of product line the shallow, narrow warehouse. Boxes of dented canned fruit and trays of bread clutter the floor of the couple’s business, Hope Food, Inc.
