Не совсем понял вначале. Мне кажется, что в начале должно быть My friend Cathy's family и далее как есть.
You can talk to her and say that there's nothing wrong with buying things from charity shops. She should feel free to use this option as long as her family is in need. Once they find better jobs and make some more money on their own, they are going to stand on their own two feet and be independent. You can tell her that buying things from charity or as they're also called "thrift shops" help charity organisations raise money to help homeless people and children with health problems. I'd call it "killing two birds with one stone".
My grandmother lives in Russian village Malininskaya. Every summer I got used to spent my summer vocations at her place. It is the nicest place for me. My grandmother is kind old woman. Her name is Tamara. She was born in Russia during the Second World War in 1942. My granny get married after the war to the greatest man, whom she still loves so much. They have been married with my grandpa Aleksandr for about 40 years. They are wonderful people. Now they are pensioners both. All her life she worked hard and now, she is still very industrious and tender-hearted. She is very good at cooking and fond of knitting. A grandma has not travelled a lot in the course of her life, and says that it is a great loss. Also, she told me that she is fully satisfied with her life. I love her very much. There are no people dearer than your relatives.
