Sorry, I forgot to mention about medical insurance and food stamp.

Medical insurance is normally very expensive and  they should not be worried too much about it at this stage. Rather they should try to find a job in a big company where there is medical insurance is available; i.e. Wal-Mart or fast food chains. Try to avoid jobs at gas stations as it is highly dangerous.

I don't think it is a good idea to apply for a food stamps as it may put the sponsor in a difficult position and even if applied, most likely they will be denied because sponsoring means taking responsibility for supporting them, usually for 3 yrs.
