If you're honestly trying to raise a family on $8.00/hr, you're either horribly misguided (and well-intentioned) or you're the dumbest SOB I've ever heard of.
Most folks can be helped to understand that they can get beyond a minimum wage job. Hell, welfare will subsidize your monthly wages to ensure that you and your family DON'T starve.
Grants and busaries are available to get folks through school with low overhead costs and distance / night courses are generally available for most colleges and universities these days.
It's one thing to be stuck in a minimum-wage job and to be actively looking for better options. It's another to sit there in that job while living in geared-to-income housing and bitching. I've seen it done many times. Those people get s*** all from me in terms of symapthy.
