Original Toronto Star caption: Nancy MacIldoon; a 26-year-old separated mother; gets a little help with the laundry from daughters Lisa; one; left; and Jennifer; 2. It's an uphill struggle for the Metro woman but she is working and managing to support her family and herself with a job in a bakery. On her $11;013 a year total income; she?s able to afford few luxuries but she?d rather not be living on welfare. Instead of hiring a babysitter and going out to do the wash; she rents washer and dryer for $22.47 a month and saves money on six loads a week in her own kitchen.
