Twin brothers decided to sell lemonade and their toys outside their home to help their single mom pay the bills after realizing her health was deteriorating. One day, a luxurious car pulled up next to their stand.Alexa raised her twin sons Alonso and Alfredo alone after her husband left them when the kids were only a year old.

Although she was a housewife at the time, she was forced to work two jobs, which eventually took a toll on her health.Before their separation, Alexa and her ex-husband Steph were in a happy relationship. They enjoyed raising their children together as well as the honeymoon phase of their early married life.

That all changed when Alexa was diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease with no cure. It is a costly disease, needing maintenance medicine that took a toll on Steph and Alexa’s monthly budgeting.

At one point, the family needed so much money that something in Steph finally snapped. “I can’t do this anymore!” he yelled. “I feel like an ATM in this family. All I do is give when I receive nothing in return from any of you!” he complained to Alexa.

“I’m sorry, honey. I’ll find a job so I can help pay the bills. I can leave the kids with my mom. I’m sure she’d be happy to take care of them,” she offered.

“No! And then what will our friends say? They’ll say I’m an irresponsible husband who forced his sick wife to work. They’ll think I’m not capable of raising a family!” Steph argued.
