A Bobby (left) and Ronnie (right) help their older brother, Charlie, load groceries into the trunk of his car in Alameda on Monday, June 6, 2023. Charlie has been their caretaker since their mother passed away twenty years ago and he provides everything for them. Even at eighty years old, he works two days a week as as a parking enforcement officer for the city. “You know what the big expense is? Feeding them!” says Charlie. On top of bills and food, Charlie gives them around $1,000 a month to give them the freedom to “go get coffee and go when they want.”
