Lost my job at 61-company didnt want to pay increased insurance premiums for older employees. Sold my house, bought an rv, been on the road ever since. It sucks that you work all your life, stay out of debt, and cant afford to keep your home of 22 yrs because of corporate greed. Had 3 more yrs to pay off the mortgage, and knew even if I got 2 jobs, I would never have health benefits or be able to afford to pay taxes, utilities and maintain my home. The American dream is dead.

Even when he’s homeless, the old man still keeps his dog with him. That bond cannot be broken. Hopefully they will get some help, now that their story makes national news.

Katrina was a bully of a storm. I will never forget how it affected so many millions. The tornadoes and flooding that ensued was a nightmare to the 10th degree
