I will never forget that. It was the closest I’ve ever came to personally knowing someone in such a dire situation. Here this woman was living across the street for several months like this and I had no idea. She was brave and proud. She always seemed to have a smile and kind word to me. She was working at Hospice helping others and she was the one who needed help. I was so sad that I couldn’t help more.
I hope things have gotten better for her and her daughter and I hope she knows that I think of them often.

Such situations are all too common in the U.S.A., but still, tax dollars go overseas to help other countries...hundreds of billions annually. Poverty at home could be and should be resolved first, and foremost, permanently, if politicians' didn't sell out to the lobbyists' catering to corporate greed and fiscal corruption.
