Thomas has raised her granddaughter for much of her life. Her son was young and ill-prepared for children, and she is now helping her granddaughter to get on her feet by raising her great-granddaughter each day.

“I like it. It’s all I know,” Thomas said.

Her granddaughter works every day, but the cost of housing in Atlanta has made it difficult for her to live on her own.
