It's a time to give thanks. A time when people coem together and help those who are facing difficult periods in their lives. Trying to make it through the year with very little.
     Isabella Gonzalez knows all about struggle. When the economy tanked, so did her business and the income right along with it.
    Before, Isabella says she had a lawn business and was doing pretty well.
But now as more people find themselves without work, they are resorting to other means of caring for their lawns and that no longer involves Isabella and her family.
     This mother of five says two of her sons went north to Washington to find work as landscapers, sending home the little money they can.
     Despite these hardships, Isabella keeps a positive attitude, saying she still has a lot to be grateful for: a loving family, roof over her head, and friends willing to help.
    As Isabella gathers the food Rio Grande City Police give her, she can hardly hold back her thanks as she latches on to one of the officers. Thankful her children don't have to go without a THanksgiving meal.
