Too many people still think that there is a 'safety net' for people going through hard times. If that's what you believe, you really should check out what is (and ISN'T) available in your own community....

This is a slight update of a thread my mom posted on October, 3, 2007 (http://journals.democraticunderground.com/... ). I hope that some of you will consider this seriously.


It's Monday, May 19.

Your car broke down 3 months ago. You haven't had the money to fix it, so now you're riding the bus.

You go to work to find out that you no longer have a job.

Your behind on all your bills, including your rent.

You've arrived home to find a 3-day eviction notice posted on your door.

You have $12.68 to your name.

I encourage you to spend one day, just one day, this month walking in someone else's footsteps.

What will you do in those footsteps?




There are so many people in similar (and worse) situations. What can you do to improve our country for all of its citizens?

What WILL you do?
