How Can I Help?!

So my neighbor Paige is 11 and going through some of the hardest times. She's like a sister to me and I've done everything to be there for her but sometimes I feel like my help is not enough. Four years ago, her father was involved in a hit and run and has been in jail since. During his court cases, Paige's mother found out that he has been cheating on her and they got a divorce. Her dad is coming out of jail soon and she is afraid he will take custody of her and her older brothers. I pray for her often but that is not her only problem. Her mother has a helper who stays at the house and drives the kids around while she is at work. Her name is Trisch and she is in her early 20s. She causes many problems though. She doesnt like my sister and I for some reason but Paige assures us that it is only jealousy. But Trisch likes to pick fights with Paige's oldest brother Alex and their fights usually involve alot of swearing and throwing things. Every time this happens, which is often, Paige calls me, crying, and saying she doesn't know what to do. Whenever she tries to Stop the fights, Trisch and Alex say something along the lines of "shutup you fat b***h". She tries to tell her mom but Trisch always has a backup story. Paige is the only one in her family who has Christ in her heart, but I feel she should be more involved. If she strengthens her faith, it will also strengthen her confidence. I love her and I need suggestions on how to help. Please comment

I think the best thing to do here is to tell your mother or father and get them to talk to Paige's mother. By being there for Paige, you are really helping. God bless you and I pray that this will get straightened out.
