true. they should sell the car, house, and quit their full time jobs.
then when the daughter gets better, she can make a sign that says "my parents sold their car, house, and quit their jobs to spend time with me when i was on chemo in the hospital. donations for a new house and car would be cool. they also need jobs, and are available for interview."
you don't even want to know what the sign reads if she dies.

I'm of the opinion that three people living in an apartment with a crappy car isn't some definition of hell or anything.

Neither is two people living in an apartment.

Keep in mind that the poster is asking for cash in order to get hours off work: so they're not losing their jobs over this (unless they quit one for the shift thing, like I suggested would be a possibility).

Edit: What I mean to say here is that while it sucks to lose a daughter, it doesn't really matter if you lose a house, a car, or whatever in the same stroke. It's just a house.
