Serving dog food for dinner illustrated just how hard life had become for Glenn and Jen Abissi. Both have been battling serious health issues, poverty and a looming eviction.
Our first report touched a number of FOX 26 viewers who were more than willing to help.
"We've received an awful lot of help from many many people who were very gracious," said Jen Abissi.
Glen, who’s had more than a dozen heart attacks, suffered another one just a few days ago. As Jen prepared Glenn for a bath Sunday, she said he grabbed his heart and told her he was having yet another heart attack.
"I was able to say, 'Glenn I'm really sorry',†Jen Abissi said." "I love you, I've always loved you and I will love you for all eternity. By the time he hit the floor he was dead."
Even with all the help and donations Jen still faces an uphill Battle. A battle she must now face all alone.
"I'm falling apart, I'm losing it I'm hanging on a very very thin thread By the grace of God and some friends that I'm holding on, Jen said.
