Beth and Dameon Ford have been living in motels since they were married four years ago. "We're going to get out of here eventually” Dameon Said. “We just got to get on our feet first.” Beth works as a waitress at a Jerry’s restaurant. Dameon stays home and watches their kids. The Ford’s have recently moved to this motel from another nearby motel after they were unable to pay rent. Dameon dries off their daughter Hope while Beth dries Faith after a bath.
