Clearly, it is sad that the mother passed away at such a young age.
But.... the fact that they had 5 children on his income...
According to the article below....all the school fees are free, he also receive govt assistance and medical subsidies.... surely the madness has to stop. If u are on govt subsidies, do u feel like having more children is the right thing to do?!

As a father, his monthly expenses include formula milk, and diapers for three of his five children. He also has to provide for his eldest school-going son who has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
While his school fees are free, Joe still has to pay for the school bus transport fee.
Unfortunately, he can't take on as many shifts as he used to as he has to set aside more time to take care of his children.
According to Give.asia, the family is receiving government assistance and school fees are currently free for the eldest child. The children also receive medical subsidies.
