Eloise's Grandson Declan would not eat anything unless it was from a package, like a small purple bag of potato chips. His birth mother Shilly only ever fed potato chips and soda. His teeth have all rotted out and he is five years old. The state of RI stepped in awarded him to Eloise's other child, Philip, a grown man working in the Greek Pizza shop. Philip is thrilled to have a son to raise. He is a bachelor with no intention of marrying but always wanted a child. Everyone has to work very hard to encourage Declan to eat things he still refuses to eat anything that is not from a package.

Uncle Victor was put in foster care as an 11 year old year old, after his mother died. Now he is in his late 30's he works hard in the local warehouse driving a fork lift. He is raising his daughter himself. He too doesn't make food. He goes to the diner or Taco Bell and Dunkin for coffee. He too has never been to the dentist or doctor and neither has his 13 year old daughter.  When he smiles his rotted gray stumps are all that's left of his teeth.
