John and family have a hard road ahead of them. John worked for a landscaper who sent his last paycheque a few weeks ago and that's about it. Kansas is a stay at home mom . The eldest daughter who is 14 is starts Grade 9 in September. They are now living off Kansas' ODSP benefits and had to move into John's parents basement with the four children.

Kansas rides the bus and train every day from their home in Galt to Kitchener Hospital to see John. She is ridden by guilt that she consented to the amputations which she knows saved his life. She is grief stricken for her husband who does not know full extent of his condition and what that means for him and his family in the future.
