LINDA FORTE: Hi, Bargas, I'm Linda Forte, the social worker assigned to your case. It's nice to meet you.
So what brings you in today?
BARGAS: Well, I've been out of work about three months, and two weeks ago my husband had a stroke. He's still in the hospital. So it's been a lot all at once, you know. And the money. [SIGH] I don't know how I'm going to pay the bills or the rent. We cannot lose our home. We have five children.
LINDA FORTE: Has this been hard on them? It sounds like you've been going through a lot since losing your job and your husband being in the hospital. I can understand how you can feel stressed and concerned.
BARGAS: My daughter Amy, she's my eldest. She's been having the hardest time. She's cutting classes at school and she's failing two of her courses.
LINDA FORTE: So how did you hear about our agency and how can I help?
