KILLEEN, TX â Summer was a bummer for Paris Groves s four kids. After missing out on sports and other fun activities, due to COVID.
âThey definitely argued more. My children gained weight,â said Killeen Resident Paris Groves.
The single mother said working her job and side gigs, made it tough for her to fill the void.
âYouâre not always able to provide your children with fun activities and constant simulations because youâre working. You donât want them to get bored or fall victim to some of the things they do out here,â said Groves.
