Please Help This Family If You Can!

I know it's early in the morning but this story breaks my heart. There's this wonderful family of 4 living here in Los Angeles. I met the mother briefly in my exercise class. She has stage 4 Lymphedema (which is a terrible debilitating disease of the lymphatic system). It has gotten so bad for the family that they literally have little to no food and must vacate their apartment has soon as possible.

The problem is that the system is so backed up and flawed that she doesn't qualify for food assistance because her disability payment is too high...basically, I'm sorry your family has no food, but we can't help you. Housing isn't an option because the wait-list is well over a year. I will do everything I can to help them, but if there's 
anything any of you can do, please contact her family at 310.902-3134 - Evette.. No one in a country like the US should go hungry especially children.
