Help is slowly trickling in for ailing widow Sherryann Ramnarine, who is struggling to care for her six children, two of whom have been out of school since their father died suddenly last year.

The 46-year-old mother and her children live in a rented basement in Rio Claro, where she says the family sometimes goes without food.
