We’re all in this together

A friend of mine’s husband was suddenly hospitalized with a broken back, they too have a large family and she was being tested for cancer. Our community swooped in silently while they were out. Friends cleaned her house top to bottom; we took all of their washing; people did a roster for meals and child…

Homeless chap

A Christmas gift in Walmart.

Finding my Grandpa’s family
