Despite unemployment and the loss of her home, Andrea Clark considers herself a blessed and happy woman. Why the cheerful attitude? Her troubles have brought her closer to her family. Last year, Andrea’s husband, Rick, a miner inNevadawas laid off. Though Andrea kept her job as a school bus driver, she knew they couldn’t pay their bills and support their youngest of five children, Zack, age nine, on one income. At first, their church helped out. “But you can’t keep that up forever”, Andrea says. Then Michal, their eldest of her four adult children suggested they move in with his family. For almost three months, sevenClarkslived under one roof. Andrea, Rick and Zack stayed in the basement apartment, sharinglaundry and a single bathroom with Michael, his wife and their two children.
The change cut theirexpenditures in half, but the new living arrangement proved too challenging. When Andrea found a job with a school district closer to her mother’s home in West Jordan, Utah, the family decided to move on. Packing up again was nopicnic. Zack had to switch schools for the second time and space is even tighter. Andrea says that the moves themselves are exhausting and Rick is still looking for a job.
The recession has certainly come with more problems than Andrea anticipated, but she remains unfailingly optimistic. She is excited to spend more time with her mother. Another plus, rents are lower inUtahthan inNevada. So Andrea thinks they’ll be able to save up and move out in less than 6 months.
