Apparently she ended up birthing a whole 'village' to rely upon one another. If the current trend continues, her children and grandchildren will be keeping each other company soon enough.
BTW, there was no mention of Laitaille's parents. I am assuming here that she didn't enter the country alone at 7 years of age. Siblings? The reporter could have provided more information. Her family, if she has any, should be helping her come 11:05 a.m. on Friday morning, if not before.
They wouldn't tell you the entire story would they?
