She did not have the means to support the family but couldn’t move so they lived in the same house that had seen so much agony.","type":"text"},{"content":"At first, Matilda made bread to sell and deliver. On top of that, she worked into the night to sew clothes on industrial-size machines, and then she cleaned the church for a small wage back when that was a paying job.","type":"text"},{"content":"Finally, somebody pointed out she could apply for funds from the state, which she did, Rebecca says, but she got no other help from the church.
