So impressed with Tom Brokaw’s journey on Route 50, I am one of the struggling but I wonder if some of the more less money stressed people of the country could stand up and adopt some of these people and help them get back on their feet again. Could such an effort be made ?? I pray for it.
Just adding a P.S. to this. Although we are struggling this is not about help for myself and husband, there are far more people worse off than us that I was talking about.
